The verdict
Little River Tribal Water System lands in the middle third by violation volume (55), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is mid-pack at 2,802 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is only 0% - almost all of this trail is monitoring or reporting. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
