The most severe category on record is radionuclides, which points toward a reverse osmosis-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What Medina's record does not cover
Everything on this page is Medina's own reported record under the Safe Drinking Water Act - a regulatory filing, not a sample of your tap. Between the utility's meter and Medina's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 6,801th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
