Does Grayson Highlands Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2018. The violations listed here began between June 1977 and July 2018. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them).
