Why "no violations" needs a caveat here

HARRIS COUNTY MUD 287 serves 3,510 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 HARRIS COUNTY MUD 287's record does not cover

The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
