Does Shaw County Park have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2020. The violations listed here began between July 1997 and January 2020. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 4 as archived and 2 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
