Against the MI average
Among the 390 MI systems in this dataset, the average is 1.3 health-based violations - MORENCI's 6 is above that. The filter guide explains what a violation like this actually calls for.
Most recent violation on record

The concern categories on record
MORENCI'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); Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule
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 MORENCI's record does not cover
MORENCI'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. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 13 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
