As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 27 entries between 2002 and 2025, of which 2 remain open; none are health-based.
Of the 27, 16 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 the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Groundwater Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
