Two-well groundwater system with an existing emergency backup interconnect to neighboring Pomeroy's water system. An open Lead and Copper Rule treatment-technique violation since October 2024, plus a chain of follow-on LCR and general reporting violations running into 2026, points to an unresolved corrosion-control compliance gap rather…
