Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 1 provider
Often added deliberately for dental health; can also occur naturally.
Nitrate
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 1 provider
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.
Arsenic
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 1 provider
