Does Carmack'S Fish Barn have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2024. The violations listed here began between July 2001 and November 2024. By type: 4 monitoring, 4 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 4 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.
