Lead and Copper Rule

Monitoring and Reporting

5 violations, Oct 2023 to open
EPA rule code 350 · 5 violations recorded, 5 still open

Monitoring and Reporting: 5 violations, open since Oct 2023. 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 1991 LCR uses action levels rather than MCLs: if the 90th percentile of high-risk tap samples exceeds 15 ppb lead or 1.3 mg/L copper, the system must take escalating corrective actions. Violations typically indicate failure to maintain adequate corrosion control — the treatment that keeps lead from leaching out of pipes, solder, and fixtures.

About this rule

Lead and Copper Rule Revisions

Reporting ViolationTreatment Technique Violation Health-based

2 violations, Oct 2024 to open
EPA rule code 351 · 2 violations recorded, 2 still open, 1 health-based

Treatment Technique Violation, health-based: 1 violation, open since Oct 2024. The system did not carry out a required treatment process or corrective action.

Reporting Violation: 1 violation, open since Oct 2024. The system did not report required information on time.

What the rule requires: The 2021 LCRR updated the 1991 LCR with mandatory lead service line inventories and replacement planning, a new 'trigger level' at 10 ppb requiring optimization, and strengthened public education. The 2024 Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) further requires replacing all lead service lines within 10 years.

Health effects: Same as Lead and Copper Rule (5000). Violations typically reflect failure to complete the required lead service line inventory or submit a required replacement plan. Lead service lines are the primary source of lead at the tap in many older systems. Limit: Lead action level: 15 ppb (trigger level: 10 ppb); copper action level: 1.3 mg/L

About this rule

Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule

Other Violation

19 violations, Dec 2024 to open · Public Notification Rule
EPA rule code 410 · 19 violations recorded, 17 still open

Other Violation: 19 violations, 17 still open, Dec 2024 to open. A requirement other than monitoring, reporting, or a contaminant limit, such as public notice or the annual water quality report.

Contaminant on the record: Public Notification Rule.

Consumer Confidence Rule

Other Violation

2 violations, Jul 2023 to open
EPA rule code 420 · 2 violations recorded, 1 still open

Other Violation: 2 violations, 1 still open, Jul 2023 to open. 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.

Revised Total Coliform Rule

Monitoring Violation

36 violations, Jul 2023 to Jun 2026
EPA rule code 111 · 36 violations recorded

Monitoring Violation: 36 violations, Jul 2023 to Jun 2026. 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.

About this data

Rules violated and the list above come from EPA's SDWIS violation records, one row per violation and contaminant, grouped by the rule each row belongs to. A violation counts when its non-compliance period ended on or after Jul 1, 2023, the start of the thirteen quarters ECHO's three-year figures cover, or is still open; it is unresolved when it was still open at EPA's data refresh on Oct 7, 2026. EPA's rule code 500, "Not Regulated", is left out, as in ECHO's counts. Each rule's violation count is EPA's, and one rule can carry several: a missed monitoring round for a group of contaminants is one violation per contaminant and period. Category names are EPA's violation categories.

ECHO's own summary count of rules violated agrees with this grouping for 98.8% of active systems nationally, and its count of rules being violated for 98.7%; where they differ, the figures here follow the rows listed.

A measured value shown with a rule is the sample result EPA recorded with that violation (SDWIS viol_measure), against the limit EPA recorded on the same row (state_mcl), both in EPA's unit as written; violations without a recorded value, such as missed monitoring, show none. Other measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.

Lead and copper are the newest 90th-percentile results in EPA's SDWA data download (LCR_SAMPLES, codes PB90 and CU90): for each monitoring period a system reports the 90th-percentile value of its tap samples, which EPA compares with its action level of 0.015 mg/L for lead and 1.3 mg/L for copper (40 CFR 141.80). A result is not a measurement of any one tap.

Service area from EPA's Public Water System Service Area Boundaries dataset: State Agency. The system's location is the centre of the service area EPA publishes for the system.

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.
