What OJAI WATER SYSTEM's record does not cover
OJAI WATER SYSTEM'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. This record - 1 health-based violation on file for OJAI WATER SYSTEM - stops at the meter and cannot see household plumbing on the other side of it. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
