Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2017. The violations listed here began between December 1980 and November 2017.

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.
