Does Camp Carysbrook have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2017. The violations listed here began between July 2006 and June 2017. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved and 1 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.
