What IRON RIVER's record does not cover
IRON RIVER'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 IRON RIVER's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 1,369th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
