What it means: When a system violates a drinking water standard, it must notify customers promptly: within 24 hours for acute violations (e.g., E. coli), 30 days for non-acute MCL violations, and 1 year for monitoring failures. A violation means the notification was late or missing — not that the underlying water issue is necessarily severe.
Health effects: No direct health risk from the notification violation itself, but delayed notification means customers may have consumed contaminated water without the chance to take protective action (boil water orders, bottled water use).
Limit: No MCL — compliance requires meeting specific notification deadlines
About this ruleAbout this data
EPA counts the rules a system was in violation of, not the individual violations; one rule can carry several in the same period. Unresolved means still in violation at EPA's latest data refresh. Measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.

The Tennessee 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.
