CENTRAL: EPA violation history, explained

Most recent violation on record

The concern categories on record

CENTRAL's flagged contaminants and rule violations, grouped by what they actually mean for a filter choice rather than left as EPA's raw code list:

• Disinfection byproducts - flagged from: TTHM; Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)

The most severe category on record is disinfection byproducts, which points toward a carbon-class filter if you want to address it directly.

What CENTRAL's record does not cover

CENTRAL'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. Between the utility's meter and CENTRAL's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 2,654th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
