Does Blm-Fontenelle Creek Cg have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2021. The violations listed here began between July 1996 and May 2021. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring, 1 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit.

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.
