How does Shining Stars Daycare compare with other water systems in Bradford County?
By EPA's size categories, Shining Stars Daycare is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Bradford County has 81 active public water systems.

Does Shining Stars Daycare have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2015 and April 2026. By type: 5 monitoring, 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived, 5 as resolved and 2 as unaddressed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
