The verdict
Tillison Bend Water Authority sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (80), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is mid-pack at 1,074 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is 36% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
