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 6 entries between 2007 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.
Of the 6, 4 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, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
