- Lead & copper - flagged from: LEAD AND COPPER RULE REVISIONS
- Microbial contamination / treatment technique - flagged from: Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule; Surface Water Treatment Rule
- Synthetic organic chemicals / pesticides / VOCs - flagged from: CARBON, TOTAL
- Disinfection byproducts - flagged from: TTHM; Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
The most severe category on record is lead & copper, which points toward a lead-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What SPIRO's record does not cover
Everything on this page is SPIRO'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 SPIRO's customers' taps is household plumbing, invisible to a system-level record ranked 215th of 12,903 by violation count. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
