Does Ironwood Point Recreation have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2016. The violations listed here began between October 1992 and July 2016. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 8 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.
