What OTIS MDWCA's record does not cover
OTIS MDWCA'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 OTIS MDWCA's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 1,311th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
