What kind of problem, specifically
KENOVA MUNICIPAL WATER'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; Revised Total Coliform Rule; Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule; Surface Water Treatment Rule

What this data is and is not
This is what KENOVA MUNICIPAL WATER reported to its state primacy agency and EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act - real regulatory record, not a lab test of your specific tap. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 81 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
