Does Murphy'S Mill Road have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2003. The violations listed here began between May 2002 and March 2003. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 as unaddressed.
