Mill Spring PWS

Monitoring Violation: 1 violation, Dec 2023 to Jan 2024. The system did not complete required monitoring. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

What the rule requires: The 2013 RTCR (effective 2016) replaced the original TCR. It triggers automatic E. coli testing whenever total coliform is found. A single E. coli-positive sample is an acute MCL violation. It also requires systems exceeding 5% total coliform-positive samples to conduct a formal assessment and correct any deficiencies, helping prevent contamination before it escalates.

Monitoring and Reporting: 8 violations, Nov 2023 to Jan 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

What the rule requires: The 2006 GWR requires regular sanitary surveys of groundwater systems and targeted corrective action when fecal indicators are found in source water. Systems with significant deficiencies must provide 4-log virus treatment (99.99% removal/inactivation) or fix the deficiency.

Monitoring and Reporting: 21 violations, Jan 2023 to Feb 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

Contaminants on the record: 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, Xylenes, Total, Dichloromethane (Methylene Chloride), o-Dichlorobenzene, p-Dichlorobenzene, Vinyl Chloride, 1,1-Dichloroethylene, trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene, 1,2-Dichloroethane, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, Carbon Tetrachloride, 1,2-Dichloropropane, Trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1,2-Trichloroethane, Tetrachloroethylene (PCE), Chlorobenzene, Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Styrene.

Monitoring and Reporting: 23 violations, Jan 2020 to Dec 2025. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

Monitoring and Reporting: 1 violation, Jan 2023 to Feb 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

What the rule requires: Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid found in bedrock and soil. It dissolves into groundwater from natural deposits and can also come from mining, smelting and past pesticide use. EPA lowered the MCL from 50 ppb to 10 ppb in 2001.

Monitoring and Reporting: 9 violations, Jan 2023 to Feb 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

Contaminants on the record: Barium, Cadmium, Chromium, Fluoride, Mercury, Selenium, Antimony, Beryllium, Thallium.

Monitoring and Reporting: 1 violation, Jan 2025 to Feb 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.

Contaminant on the record: Nitrate-Nitrite (Combined).

Other Violation: 1 violation, Jul 2023 to Sep 2024. A requirement other than monitoring, reporting, or a contaminant limit, such as public notice or the annual water quality report.

What the rule requires: Community water systems must deliver an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) to all customers by July 1, covering the previous year. It must list all detected contaminants, compare them to MCLs, identify source water, and include educational language about lead. A violation means the report was not delivered on time or was incomplete.
