1,2-Dichloroethane violations in Wisconsin

45 active public water systems in Wisconsin had a 1,2-Dichloroethane violation in the past three years, 5 of them still unresolved. What 1,2-Dichloroethane is and why it matters.

Health effects: Chronic exposure to 1,2-dichloroethane is associated with liver and kidney damage and neurological effects. EPA classifies it as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2) based on animal evidence of gastrointestinal and mammary gland tumors. Long-term exposure above the MCL is the primary concern; communities near chemical manufacturing facilities and Superfund sites face the greatest risk.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved 1,2-Dichloroethane, including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not 1,2-Dichloroethane alone.

Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The Wisconsin 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.
