Snow Summit standing, mid SDWIS violation third
75,500 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 2% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). Population rank #689 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Snow Summit lands in the middle third by violation volume (45), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (75,500; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 2% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.

How many violations vs. how serious, among peer systems
Snow Summit plotted against 29 peer public water systems (500+ people served), by total violation count (x) and the share of those violations that are health-based (y). The crosshair sits at this sample's own median on each axis. A high violation count does not automatically mean a serious record: most monitoring and reporting violations are minor, not health-based.
