Revised Total Coliform Rule in Drinking Water
11.7 violations per affected system (710,085 across 60,574) - dense load (> 5.8 violations per affected system).
EPA contaminant code: 8000
Revised Total Coliform Rule standing, high-volume SDWIS third
Revised Total Coliform Rule sits in the upper third of this extract by raw violation count (710,085), so the national record is thick enough that system-level lists below are a sample of a much larger compliance trail rather than a near-complete inventory. Load is concentrated: 11.7 violations per affected system (dense load (> 5.8 violations per affected system)), which usually means repeat findings on the same PWSIDs rather than one-off detections spread thin. Health-based share is only 9.2% - almost all of this analyte's trail is monitoring/reporting rather than MCL exceedance. Among 157 indexable contaminants, this page is #2 by violation volume. Utilities listed below are ranked by cumulative violation count for this analyte; pair that with population served to gauge household exposure scale.
