The verdict
Hernando Co Utl-West 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 (145,204; 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 6 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
