Health effects: Chronic exposure to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene is associated with liver, nervous system, and immune system effects in animal studies. EPA has not classified it as a human carcinogen based on available data. Its detection in water often signals the presence of more acutely toxic parent compounds such as TCE or vinyl chloride.
A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene alone.

The Texas 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.

No violations reported to EPA in the past three years.
At least one violation on record with EPA in the past three years. Many are monitoring or reporting lapses rather than contamination; the system page lists which rules were involved and whether each is still open.
EPA's designation, also called an enforcement priority, for a system with unresolved serious, multiple, or continuing violations. EPA expects the system and its state to act quickly to resolve them.
At least one open health-based violation: an exceedance of a maximum contaminant level or residual disinfectant level, or a treatment technique violation. Monitoring and reporting lapses do not raise this flag.
