Does Springs Dock have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2024. The violations listed here began between April 1999 and January 2024. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 3 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
