What kind of problem, specifically
CITY OF EDEN'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:

What this data is and is not
This is what CITY OF EDEN reported to its state primacy agency and EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act - real regulatory record, not a lab test of your specific tap. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 82 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
