Found at 15 of 218 providers
Nitrate
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 11 of 218 providers
Commonly from agricultural fertilizer runoff or septic systems. Above the legal limit, it's an immediate concern especially for infants.

Lead And Copper Rule Revisions
Currently open health violation
Found at 13 of 218 providers
Arsenic
Older/archived health-based violation
Found at 1 of 218 providers
Occurs naturally in some groundwater. Long-term exposure above the legal limit (10 ppb) has been linked to increased cancer risk and cardiovascular disease.
