Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2025 and January 2026. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 3 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 7 as unaddressed, 3 as archived and 2 as resolved. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
