1health-based violation in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score.
No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.
Every filing is listed; the Track record score counts at most one per contaminant per year.

The records describe the system. A certified lab test shows what reaches your glass.
Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

Screening: quick check, not lab-grade
Silver Lake Research
Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH
What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.
Lab-certified results
ETR Laboratories
50+ substances, including lead, copper, arsenic, nitrate, hardness and coliform bacteria
What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.

Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-01-03 to 2024-10-07) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.
Lead is not in Torrington's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
PurityMap's current record for Torrington holds 31 findings: 31 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
