This system has 1 health-based violation on the EPA record — involving Coliform bacteria, Ground Water Rule, Lead & Copper Rule. A limit meant to protect health, exceeded.
The Revised Total Coliform Rule tracks coliform bacteria — an indicator that disease-causing organisms could be getting into the water.
Read the rule → EPA · Coliform RuleThe Ground Water Rule protects wells and aquifer-fed systems from fecal contamination through source-water monitoring and fixes.
Read the rule → EPA · Ground Water RuleThe Lead & Copper Rule requires utilities to test water at customer taps for lead and copper — metals that enter water from pipes and plumbing, not the source. Lead harms brain development in children; no level is considered safe.
Read the rule → EPA · Lead & Copper RuleNitrate comes from fertilizer, septic and wastewater. Above the limit it can starve infants of oxygen and is linked to cancer risk.
Read the rule → EPA · Safe Drinking Water Act standardsThe Surface Water Treatment Rules require utilities using surface water (or groundwater under its influence) to filter and disinfect against microbes like Giardia, Legionella and viruses.
