Does Ridgeview Village have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2020. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and October 2020. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved and 2 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.
