Editorial Policy

How we decide what to publish, what to leave uncertain, and how corrections are handled.

Editorial mission

MyWaterFacts helps consumers understand public water information without pretending that a citywide report answers every household-level question.

Preferred sources

  • Official utility Consumer Confidence Reports and water quality reports.
  • City, county, or provider water-quality pages.
  • State drinking-water records and EPA-related resources where appropriate.
  • Official methodology or classification sources for hardness and report interpretation.

How we handle uncertainty

If a value is not clearly supported, we do not publish it as fact. We explain what can be confirmed and when a utility check or direct test is more appropriate.

Hardness standards

Hardness values should be tied to an official or reliable source. When only a category or range is available, we avoid converting it into false precision.

Corrections

Send corrections to info@mywaterfacts.com with the page URL and supporting source. We prioritize source accuracy, broken links, provider changes, and safety-related clarity.

Independence

Advertising or affiliate relationships, if added, should not control whether we publish provider caveats, uncertainty, testing warnings, or hardness values.
