What the EPA has on record, by system
Montezuma W D #1
490 served · surface water · PWSID NY0501733 - Health-based TTHM: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 3 times between July 2019 and January 2020. The EPA record lists a level of 81 UG/L; the limit (MCL) is 80 UG/L. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
- Monitoring Revised Total Coliform Rule: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 3 times in December 2023. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.
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.
