Does Trout Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2000. The violations listed here began between October 1979 and October 2000. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 12 as archived. 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.
