About EPA Violations

EPA violations can range from minor reporting issues to serious contaminant level exceedances. Not all violations indicate unsafe water, but they do indicate compliance issues that require attention.

Water systems are required to notify customers of serious violations. If your system has violations, contact them directly to understand the nature of the violation and any health advisories.
