Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2022 and October 2025. By type: 6 monitoring, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 reporting and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (10 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.
