What NEW RICHMOND WATERWORKS's record does not cover

NEW RICHMOND WATERWORKS'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 NEW RICHMOND WATERWORKS's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 2,785th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
