The concern categories on record
HAMMOND PSD'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: Coliform (TCR); Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule; Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule; Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule
- Synthetic organic chemicals / pesticides / VOCs - flagged from: Tetrachloroethylene; Trichloroethylene
- 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 HAMMOND PSD's record does not cover
Everything on this page is HAMMOND PSD'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 83 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
