This system has 2 health-based violations on the EPA record — involving Coliform bacteria, Ground Water Rule, Lead & Copper Rule. 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 RuleThe 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 utility didn't complete required testing or paperwork on time. The water wasn't necessarily bad — but what isn't measured can't be caught.

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.
Certified grab-and-go protection while you decide on the whole-home fix.
