Health-based Nitrate: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 12 times between January 2019 and July 2022. The EPA record lists a level of 11 MG/L; the limit (MCL) is 10 MG/L. 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.
