Olivenhain MWD standing, low SDWIS violation third
86,458 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #585 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Olivenhain MWD is in the lower third by violation count (0; lower-third violation load (≤ 21 violations)). A low count does not mean the system is unmonitored - monitoring and reporting violations still appear in SDWIS. Population served is large (86,458; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. No violations are on record in this extract. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
