Does Mitchell`S Point Marina have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2016. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and October 2016. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 3 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.
