MARCH 20, 2024 - ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE ORDER
On January 8, 2024, the EPA completed an onsite inspection of Respondent?s public water system.
During the January 8, 2024, onsite inspection, the EPA requested that Respondent produce its RRA and ERP, which it was required to maintain pursuant to Section 1433(d) of the SDWA.
