How to read this grade
Grade C means “Some recent records” under TapScore's published method. It is a comparison of recent EPA compliance records, not an EPA grade, laboratory result, health recommendation, or guarantee of present water quality.
EPA contaminant categories in violation records

|---|---|---|
| Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) | Health-based record | 4 |
| Lead and Copper Rule | Health-based record | 2 |
