Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 468 West Virginia systems (59%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Harpers Ferry Campground?

Does Harpers Ferry Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between December 2022 and February 2026. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Groundwater Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 3 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
