As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1993 and 2025, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 26, 24 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
