Does Richmond Heights Homeowners Associat have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2010. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and July 2010. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them).
