Citrus Co Utl/Charles a. Black standing, mid SDWIS violation third
29,218 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 11% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds). Population rank #1,921 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Citrus Co Utl/Charles a. Black lands in the middle third by violation volume (36), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (29,218; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 11% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 3 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
