North Dallas Water Authority standing, mid SDWIS violation third

8,838 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 1% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #5,212 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

North Dallas Water Authority lands in the middle third by violation volume (67), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (8,838; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 1% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
