Does Shorelands Water Assn have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2016. The violations listed here began between July 1992 and September 2016. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (10 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 1 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. 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.
