Does Torrey Town Water System have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between August 2009 and July 2025. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 4 monitoring and reporting and 2 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 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.
