Health effects: Chronic exposure to p-dichlorobenzene is associated with liver and kidney damage. EPA classifies it as a possible human carcinogen (Group C) based on animal tumor data. Long-term exposure above the MCL is the primary concern. Individuals with pre-existing liver or kidney conditions may be at greater risk.
A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved p-Dichlorobenzene, including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not p-Dichlorobenzene 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.
