F
Water quality score
40/ 100Limited data

Only 9 of 27 core regulated contaminants were reported for Glenbrook Cove Subdivision of Marion, IA. What was measured is not clean — but most of the picture is missing.

  • !1 contaminant at or above a federal limit — worst is Turbidity at 100.0x
  • !2 contaminants within 20% of a limit
  • !9 of 27 core regulated contaminants reported — 18 never appear in this report
  • No open federal violations
+How this score is calculated

Every system starts at 100. Points come off for measured levels, for the federal violation record, and for how much of the core regulated set the utility actually reported. All three inputs are the utility's own published numbers and EPA's own records.

  • 36  contaminants at or above a federal limit
  • 8  contaminants within 20% of a limit
  • 0  open health-based violations
  • 0  open monitoring / reporting violations
  • 0  health-based violations resolved in the last 5 years
  • 16  core regulated contaminants never reported (9/27)

A 90–100 · B 80–89 · C 70–79 · D 60–69 · F below 60. A system reporting under a third of the core set is capped at C however clean its numbers look — a short report is not a clean bill of health.

What to worry about

  • Turbidity100.0× the federal limit
    99.99 NTU · limit 1 NTU

    High turbidity can shelter microbes from disinfection; the EPA enforces it through a treatment-technique standard.

    higher than 95% of U.S. systems

  • Chlorine Total95% of the federal limit
    1.9–3.8 mg/L · limit 4 mg/L

    higher than 90% of U.S. systems

  • Nitrate90% of the federal limit
    0–9 mg/L · limit 10 mg/L

    Levels above the federal limit can cause 'blue baby syndrome,' a serious oxygen-transport condition in infants.
