White Cottage's water has 5 contaminants above EPA MCLGs and 1 above EPA's legal limit (MCL). We strongly recommend using a certified water filter to reduce exposure to these contaminants. Check our filter recommendations below for NSF-certified options that can remove the specific contaminants found in White Cottage's water. EPA records 10 health-based violations for MAYSVILLE REGIONAL WATER that began after its latest compliance result on file (Dec 2022): Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (TTHM), 10 violations, the first beginning on January 1, 2023 and the latest on January 1, 2026.
