TapCheck grade
Saratoga Springs City is an active surface-water community system serving 26,525 people. The supplied records show both resolved and unresolved non-health-based rule or compliance violations, but no health-based contaminant-limit exceedance is identified.
The supplied EPA records contain unresolved, non-health-based compliance items, including the Revised Total Coliform Rule and an unidentified code 2049 record. They do not report a health-based contaminant exceedance, but the unresolved and incompletely labeled records prevent a stronger grade.
What we found
A public-reporting requirement rather than a measured contaminant; the supplied violation is marked resolved.
Health effects: The record is classified as non-health-based and provides no contaminant concentration or health effect.
EPA violation #4042The EPA label and category are unavailable in the supplied data. Duplicate records for the same period and violation ID include two marked resolved and one marked unresolved.
Health effects: The records are classified as non-health-based; no health effect or measured concentration is supplied.
EPA violation #4055The EPA label and category are unavailable in the supplied data; this record is marked resolved.
Health effects: The record is classified as non-health-based and supplies no health-effect information.
EPA violation #4056The EPA label and category are unavailable in the supplied data; this record is marked resolved.
Health effects: The record is classified as non-health-based and supplies no health-effect information.
EPA violation #4057A microbial-rule compliance item for June 2024. The supplied violation is marked unresolved, but no microbial test result or concentration is provided.
Health effects: The violation record is classified as non-health-based, so it does not establish a health-based microbial exceedance.
EPA violation #4060A lead-and-copper regulatory requirement rather than evidence of a measured lead or copper exceedance; the supplied violation is marked resolved.
Health effects: The record is classified as non-health-based and provides no lead or copper measurements or health-effect finding.
EPA violation #4061Filter recommendation
The supplied data do not identify a measured contaminant or health-based limit exceedance that would support choosing activated carbon or reverse osmosis. A household filter also would not correct public-reporting or regulatory-compliance records.
Not just for humans
The data do not provide water-quality measurements or identify whether chlorine or chloramine is used. Aquarium safety therefore cannot be determined; confirm the disinfectant with the utility and condition aquarium water appropriately.
Plant suitability cannot be determined because hardness, salinity, disinfectant levels, and other relevant measurements are unavailable.
The records do not provide contaminant concentrations sufficient to judge pet safety, and unresolved compliance items remain.
