Frequently Asked Questions About North Vernon Tap Water
North Vernon's water record shows 6 health-based EPA violations that began after the latest compliance result on file. We recommend using a certified water filter for additional protection, especially for vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. EPA records 6 health-based violations for NORTH VERNON WATER DEPARTMENT that began after its latest compliance result on file (Dec 2020): Failure To Address Deficiency (Groundwater Rule), 5 violations, the first beginning on January 21, 2022 and the latest on January 21, 2022; Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (TTHM), which began on January 1, 2021.
