Does Woodhaven Shores have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2022. The violations listed here began between September 1993 and January 2022. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting and 4 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them).
