The concern categories on record
LAWTON'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)
- Disinfection byproducts - flagged from: Bromate; TTHM
- Synthetic organic chemicals / pesticides / VOCs - flagged from: CARBON, TOTAL
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 LAWTON's record does not cover
This is what LAWTON 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. This record - 11 health-based violations on file for LAWTON - stops at the meter and cannot see household plumbing on the other side of it. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
