Public water system
Who actually supplies Tildenville's water.
Drinking water isn't tested or regulated by neighborhood — it's tested by Public Water System (PWS). One utility pipes the same treated water to dozens of neighborhoods. So "what's the water like in Tildenville" really means "which utility serves Tildenville, and what does that utility's water look like."

Two different things get called "bad water."
"Exceeds health guideline" means the contaminant is legally fine — below the enforceable limit — but above a stricter, non-enforceable benchmark (EWG's) that some scientists consider safer. Nearly every Florida utility exceeds several of these, because Floridan Aquifer groundwater plus chlorination produces disinfection byproducts.
