DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Safe 
Drinking Water Act

    On March 28, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a Consent 
Decree with defendant Beaverhead County Jackson Water and/or Sewer 
District (``Beaverhead'') in the United States District Court for the 
District of Montana. The Consent Decree resolves claims under Sections 
1412 and 1414(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (``SDWA''), 42 U.S.C. 
300g-1 and 300g-3(b), for violations of certain National Primary 
Drinking Water Regulations (``NPDWRs'') in the public water supply 
system in Beaverhead County, Montana. The Complaint filed concurrently 
with the Consent Decree alleges that Beaverhead owned and/or operated a 
public water system and failed to comply with maximum contaminant 
levels and monitoring and reporting requirements. The proposed Consent 
Decree obligates Beaverhead to achieve and maintain continual, long-
term compliance with the NPDWRs and state drinking water regulations.
