Does Jordan Valley Wcd have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2020. The violations listed here began between January 1988 and July 2020. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
