Bcwws 2A standing, mid SDWIS violation third
UCMR5 detected 9 PFAS compounds - upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 3% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds). Population rank #981 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Bcwws 2A lands in the middle third by violation volume (37), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (54,622; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 3% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 9 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).

Violation Count vs. the National Corpus
Bcwws 2A has 37 recorded EPA violations, 48% of the 29,740 public water systems serving 500+ people nationwide carry fewer, and 51% carry more. 3% of this system's own violations are health-based (1 of 37), and it ranks #981 of 29,740 by population served among that same cohort.

How many violations vs. how serious, among peer systems
Bcwws 2A 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.
