Does Bear River Wcd-Beaver Dam have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2020. The violations listed here began between April 2012 and January 2020. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (3 of them). EPA lists 10 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.
