What the EPA has on record, by system
Municipal Services Commission
5,549 served · groundwater · PWSID DE0000634 - Monitoring Consumer Confidence Rule: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded once in July 2015. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
Whispering Pines Mobile Home Park
325 served · groundwater · PWSID MD0070213 As of June 2026, EPA records show no reported violations for this system in the period covered. This is not a guarantee about every substance, or about the water inside your home's plumbing.
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.
