What MORRIS's record does not cover

MORRIS'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 MORRIS's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 3,126th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
