Does Rivercrest Water System have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between April 1993 and April 2026.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 2 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.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
