The concern categories on record

- Microbial contamination / treatment technique - flagged from: Coliform (TCR); Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule; Surface Water Treatment Rule
- Synthetic organic chemicals / pesticides / VOCs - flagged from: CARBON, TOTAL
- Disinfection byproducts - flagged from: TTHM; Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)

What CAGUAS NORTE's record does not cover
CAGUAS NORTE's numbers here come from its own required reporting to EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act, not from an independent test of your glass of water. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 195 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
