As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 2011 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.
None of the 4 are monitoring or reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset; these involve water-quality, treatment, or public-notice findings instead. The record involves the Consumer Confidence Rule.
