Does Pr Springs have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2019. The violations listed here began between December 1980 and May 2019. By type: 4 required treatment not met, 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved and 5 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. 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.
