What kind of problem, specifically
HAMPSHIRE'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:
- Radionuclides - flagged from: Combined Radium (-226 and -228)
- Other regulated metals - flagged from: Barium
The most severe category on record is radionuclides, which points toward a reverse osmosis-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What this data is and is not
HAMPSHIRE'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 HAMPSHIRE's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 1,498th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
