What this data is and is not
LINCOLN PSD'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 LINCOLN PSD's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 870th of 12,903 by violation count.
