Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
Treatment Technique Violation Health-based1 violation, May 2017 to open
Treatment Technique Violation, health-based: 1 violation, open since May 2017. The system did not carry out a required treatment process or corrective action.
What the rule requires: The LT2 ESWTR (2006) required all surface water and GWUDI systems to monitor source water for Cryptosporidium, then apply additional treatment based on measured concentrations. Higher-bin systems (more oocysts detected) must install advanced treatment — UV disinfection, ozone, or membrane filtration — beyond the original SWTR requirements.
Health effects: Cryptosporidium is a chlorine-resistant protozoan parasite that causes cryptosporidiosis — severe watery diarrhea, cramping, nausea, and fever. In immunocompromised individuals (HIV/AIDS, transplant recipients), it can be life-threatening and prolonged. Infants and the elderly are also at elevated risk. LT2 violations indicate failure to complete monitoring or apply the required additional treatment tier. Limit: Treatment technique — additional Cryptosporidium treatment based on bin classification

Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule
Treatment Technique Violation Health-based1 violation, Dec 2018 to open · Stage 1 Disinfectants and DBP Rule
Treatment Technique Violation, health-based: 1 violation, open since Dec 2018. The system did not carry out a required treatment process or corrective action.
Contaminant on the record: Stage 1 Disinfectants and DBP Rule.
Stage 1 Disinfectants and DBP Rule, health effects: See TTHMs (2950) and HAA5 (2456) for their specific health effects. Bromate is a probable human carcinogen (Group B2). Chlorite at elevated levels can cause hemolytic anemia, particularly in infants, developing fetuses, and individuals with certain enzyme deficiencies. Violations indicate the system exceeded one or more of these byproduct or disinfectant limits. Limit: TTHM: 0.080 mg/L; HAA5: 0.060 mg/L; Bromate: 0.010 mg/L; Chlorite: 1.0 mg/L

Lead and Copper Rule
Monitoring and Reporting1 violation, Jan 2018 to open
Monitoring and Reporting: 1 violation, open since Jan 2018. 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.

Lead and copper at the tap
The 90th percentile of the tap samples the system collected in its latest monitoring period, against EPA's action level. Levels vary between homes.
Action level 0.015 mg/L · Jan 2017 to Dec 2019
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.
The system's location is the centre of the first town EPA lists the system as serving, from Census Bureau place files.

The West Virginia 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.
