Does Slaughter Creek Acres have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between July 1979 and July 2025. By type: 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Fluoride (3 of them). EPA lists 3 as resolved and 3 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.
