The concern categories on record
CULEBRAS'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:
- Microbial contamination / treatment technique - flagged from: Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule; Surface Water Treatment Rule
- Synthetic organic chemicals / pesticides / VOCs - flagged from: CARBON, TOTAL
- Disinfection byproducts - flagged from: Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
The most severe category on record is microbial contamination / treatment technique, which points toward a microbial-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What CULEBRAS's record does not cover
This is what CULEBRAS 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. Between the utility's meter and CULEBRAS's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 523th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
