01 / READ THE RECORD
Five signals. Kept separate on purpose.
A monitoring violation is not the same thing as a health-based violation. Tap Water Ledger never collapses them into an invented score.
Monitoring & reporting
Required sampling, reporting, or recordkeeping appears in the current record.
Public notice
A public-notification requirement is marked in the current export.
Other
A different current compliance category is present and remains visibly separate.
Serious violator
The current EPA serious-violator flag is shown exactly as its own signal.
