At a glance

  • The count is a dated snapshot of a dynamic database.
  • Returned to compliance belongs beside every historical violation claim.
  • Historical entries do not establish the condition of a tap today.

The public record at this stage

Four entries were identified as maximum-contaminant-level violations: HAA5 for three quarters spanning July 2023 through March 2024, and TTHM for January through March 2025. Seven others involved monitoring, reporting or public notification.

This is the public introduction to part 6 of The Gretna Water Files. The complete analysis, document checklist and next-record questions are included in the paid series; essential safety notices and official contact links remain outside the paywall.
