What ERIN WATER DEPARTMENT's record does not cover
ERIN WATER DEPARTMENT'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 ERIN WATER DEPARTMENT's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 699th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
