200 served · groundwater · PWSID IL1130550 - Health-based Lead and Copper Rule: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 2 times between January 1996 and August 1996. The EPA record for these does not include a measured level. 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.
