This system has 14 health-based violations on the EPA record — involving Coliform bacteria, Ground Water Rule, Haloacetic Acids (HAA5). A limit meant to protect health, exceeded.
The Revised Total Coliform Rule tracks coliform bacteria — an indicator that disease-causing organisms could be getting into the water.

Read the rule → EPA · Ground Water RuleHaloacetic acids are disinfection byproducts formed when chlorine treats water; five are federally capped as a group.
Read the rule → EPA · Disinfection Byproducts RulesThe Lead & Copper Rule requires utilities to test water at customer taps for lead and copper — metals that enter water from pipes and plumbing, not the source. Lead harms brain development in children; no level is considered safe.
Read the rule → EPA · Lead & Copper RuleThe Surface Water Treatment Rules require utilities using surface water (or groundwater under its influence) to filter and disinfect against microbes like Giardia, Legionella and viruses.

Ground Water Rule: The Ground Water Rule protects wells and aquifer-fed systems from fecal contamination through source-water monitoring and fixes.
Read the rule → EPA · Ground Water RuleThe water tested above a federal legal limit for this contaminant — the line the law itself draws.
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM): Total trihalomethanes are cancer-linked byproducts formed when chlorine disinfects water; federal rules cap them and require regular testing.

Health guidelines from independent scientists are often stricter. Results vary by home, plumbing and date.
NSF-58 certified under-sink RO — the only tech that broadly removes dissolved contaminants at the tap.
NSF-42 whole-house carbon cuts chlorine, chloramine and the pool-water taste.
