What the EPA has on record, by system
Burlington City Of
3,720 served · groundwater · PWSID CO0132005 - Health-based Nitrate: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 83 times between January 2014 and January 2018. The EPA record lists a level of 12.8 MG/L; the limit (MCL) is 10 MG/L. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
- Monitoring Public Notice: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 2 times between March 2018 and October 2019. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
What this means
A health-based violation means a contaminant was recorded above the limit the EPA tracks for it. A monitoring or reporting violation means a required test or report was late or missed — not that a contaminant was measured above a limit. “Returned to compliance” means the EPA recorded the issue as resolved.
