Does Sunshine Hills Water Co have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2024 and August 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, Groundwater Rule, Simazine and Carbofuran. 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.
