What's in MILAN's water?
MILAN has a health-based violation on record, but none in the last five years - an older issue, not necessarily a current one. It serves 4,945 people through 2,016 service connections.
How this compares nationally
29 total violations and 16 health-based ones put MILAN at the 91th percentile nationally for violation burden, rank 1,159 of 12,903.

What kind of problem, specifically
MILAN'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:
- Lead & copper - flagged from: Lead and Copper Rule
- Microbial contamination / treatment technique - flagged from: Coliform (TCR)
- Radionuclides - flagged from: Combined Radium (-226 and -228)
The most severe category on record is lead & copper, which points toward a lead-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What this data is and is not
Everything on this page is MILAN's own reported record under the Safe Drinking Water Act - a regulatory filing, not a sample of your tap. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 29 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
