The verdict
Dadeville Water Works & Sewage Board sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (184), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is large (4,020; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 13% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
