Does Mcguires Family Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2020. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and January 2020. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived and 3 as resolved.
