EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2017. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and June 2017. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 required treatment not met, 1 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 7 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.
