Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2013. The violations listed here began between April 2004 and April 2013. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 4 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them).
