What the EPA has on record, by system
West Carthage Village
1,734 served · surface water · PWSID NY2202349 - Health-based Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5): a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 38 times between April 2017 and April 2024. The EPA record for these does not include a measured level. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
- Health-based Surface Water Treatment Rule: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded once in January 1992. The EPA record lists a level of 0 ; the limit (MCL) is 0 . 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.
