Does East Haven Town Clerk have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2009. The violations listed here began between January 2002 and October 2009. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting and 6 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them).
