Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between April 2011 and February 2026. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 5 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 as archived. 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.
