What the EPA has on record, by system
Plainview, City Of
1,282 served · groundwater · PWSID NE3113902 - Health-based Nitrate-Nitrite: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 34 times between October 2017 and October 2025. The EPA record lists a level of 12 MG/L; the limit (MCL) is 10 MG/L. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
- Health-based Coliform (TCR): a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded once in October 2015. The EPA record for these does not include a measured level. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
- Monitoring Coliform (Pre-TCR): a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded once in January 1982. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
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.
