What makes a correction useful

  1. Identify the record

    Include the utility name or PWSID and, when relevant, the contaminant or reporting period.

  2. Link the primary source

    A state registry, Consumer Confidence Report, or laboratory record helps us verify the discrepancy.

  3. Describe the mismatch

    Tell us what PurityMap shows, what the source shows, and why the two appear to differ.
