EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 1999. The violations listed here began between January 1991 and August 1999. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them).
