Does Mt Adams Orchard Division-Camp B have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2023. The violations listed here began between June 1992 and April 2023.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved.
