Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between May 2017 and October 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (2 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
