What kind of problem, specifically
SAPULPA'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 REVISIONS
- Microbial contamination / treatment technique - flagged from: Coliform (TCR); Surface Water Treatment Rule
- Synthetic organic chemicals / pesticides / VOCs - flagged from: CARBON, TOTAL
- Disinfection byproducts - flagged from: TTHM
The most severe category on record is lead & copper, which points toward a lead-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What this data is and is not
Everything on this page is SAPULPA's own reported record under the Safe Drinking Water Act - a regulatory filing, not a sample of your tap. Between the utility's meter and SAPULPA's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 148th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
