The verdict
Vail Assoc Far E Shelter is in the lower third by violation count (9; 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 mid-pack at 1,758 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is 44% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.
