The concern categories on record
PAWNEE'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:
- Lead & copper - flagged from: Lead and Copper Rule
- Microbial contamination / treatment technique - flagged from: Coliform (TCR); Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
- Synthetic organic chemicals / pesticides / VOCs - flagged from: Atrazine
The most severe category on record is lead & copper, which points toward a lead-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What PAWNEE's record does not cover
PAWNEE'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 - 7 health-based violations on file for PAWNEE - 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.
