Does Little Thunder Camp have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2025. The violations listed here began between December 1980 and June 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting, 1 monitoring, 1 required treatment not met, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived, 4 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
