Does The Lodge at Carlin Bay have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2010 and April 2024. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved, 4 as archived and 3 as unaddressed. 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.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
