EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2022. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and October 2022. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 2 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.
