Does Cleveland Water System have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2019. The violations listed here began between January 1987 and December 2019. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 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.
