EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2023; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1985 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
Of the 10, 8 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 inorganic chemicals, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
