Texarkana Water Utilities standing, mid SDWIS violation third

93% of 29 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort).

The verdict

Texarkana Water Utilities lands in the middle third by violation volume (29), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (29,233; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 93% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
