What the violations mean
LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS
1 incidentThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that the LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS requires (a treatment technique violation).
The utility had to notify customers about this violation.
Where the water comes from
Comunidad Palomo draws water from 1 well.
Annual water quality report
Comunidad Palomo must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask Comunidad Palomo for a copy.
Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search
