Does Forestville United Meth Church have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2017. The violations listed here began between December 1979 and November 2017. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them).
