Does Price River Wid have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2019. The violations listed here began between January 1982 and December 2019. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Carbon, total (2 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
