As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 22 entries between 2008 and 2026, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 22, 21 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 Groundwater Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
