As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 2 entries between 2008 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
All 2 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 Lead and Copper Rule and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
