Public Water Supply - Percent of Population Served Unaffected by SDWA Nitrate Violations

County: Pratt
Measurement Period: 2021
This indicator shows the percentage of public water supply service population unaffected by nitrate maximum contaminant level violations.

Why is this important?

Public drinking water systems are required to monitor approximately 90 contaminants and indicators regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. A health-based violation occurs when a contaminant exceeds its Maximum Contamination Limit (MCL)—the highest amount allowed in drinking water—or when water is not treated properly. Limiting the levels of microorganisms, chemicals, and other contaminants in a community's public water supply reduces residents' risk of waterborne diseases, cancer, and other adverse outcomes.
