Why "no violations" needs a caveat here

GLEN HELEN WATER SYSTEM serves 5,900 people. EPA requires smaller systems to test less often than large ones, so a clean record here is real but weaker evidence than the same record on a system serving hundreds of thousands - fewer tests means fewer chances to catch a problem. See the guide to reading a clean record for what that does and does not tell you.

What GLEN HELEN WATER SYSTEM's record does not cover

GLEN HELEN WATER SYSTEM'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. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 0 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
