Methodology

Violation counts include all types recorded in the EPA SDWIS database: Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) violations, treatment technique violations, and monitoring/reporting violations. Both resolved and unresolved violations are counted. Higher counts may reflect longer system histories or larger service areas.

Data sources: EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS), FEMA National Flood Insurance Program, EPA radon zone maps, EIA electricity rates, and Consumer Confidence Reports. Last updated: 2026-08-31.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an EPA water violation?

EPA violations include exceeding Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), failing to treat water properly (treatment technique violations), and not testing or reporting on schedule (monitoring violations). Health-based violations are the most serious.

Does a high violation count mean the water is unsafe now?

Not necessarily. Many violations are historical or monitoring-related. However, a pattern of repeated violations indicates systemic issues with water system management or infrastructure.
