As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 1991 and 2025, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 11, 5 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 Total Coliform Rules, inorganic chemicals, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
