Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between June 1982 and July 2025.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (3 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
