Does City of Crowell have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 10 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2025 and January 2026. By type: 10 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved. 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.
