EPA v. Browntown Waterworks | UAO
Final Order No Penalty
Case summary
The EPA is issuing Administrative Orders (AO or Order) to public water systems for failure to comply with the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act. EPA Region 5 reviewed violation data provided by the States to issue warning emails to noncompliant systems in June through August of 2025. Following the warning emails, EPA Region 5 determined that issuing administrative orders is the most efficient mechanism to address remaining failures to meet LCRR and associated public notification requirements.
