What the violations mean
Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
38 incidentsThe system failed required surface water treatment or filtration standards
Untreated or inadequately treated surface water can contain bacteria and viruses
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
1 incidentThe system did not meet a filtration or treatment requirement for surface water
Inadequate treatment of surface water can let pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia through
Where the water comes from
Luquillo Urbano draws water from 2 surface water intakes.
Annual water quality report
Luquillo Urbano must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Where the state allows it, systems serving fewer than 10,000 people may publish the report in a local newspaper or news site instead of mailing it, and must provide a copy on request.

Testing your own water
To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Puerto Rico.
