Does Maeser Improvement District 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 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2011 and January 2024. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
