Does Hardwood Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2020 and July 2024. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (5 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.
