The concern categories on record

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 Esperanza's record does not cover
Everything on this page is Esperanza's own reported record under the Safe Drinking Water Act - a regulatory filing, not a sample of your tap. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 140 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
