What the violations mean

LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS

1 incident

The 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

The Reserve draws water from 1 well.

Annual water quality report

The Reserve 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 The Reserve for a copy.
