Bal Harbour Village standing, low SDWIS violation third
33% of 9 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 33% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds). Population rank #10,132 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Bal Harbour Village 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 3,209 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is 33% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 10 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
