Chlorine (MRDL) violations in South Dakota

33 active public water systems in South Dakota had a Chlorine (MRDL) violation in the past three years, 5 of them still unresolved. What Chlorine (MRDL) is and why it matters.

Health effects: Acute high-dose exposure to chlorinated water can cause eye and nose irritation, stomach discomfort, and nausea. Chronic exposure above the MRDL is primarily a concern because elevated chlorine accelerates formation of trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids, which are associated with increased cancer risk over time.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Chlorine (MRDL), including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Chlorine (MRDL) alone.

Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The South Dakota records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
