Does City of New Deal 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 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2022 and July 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, Chlorine, Thallium and 2,4-D. EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved.
