Sebring Water ; Sewer System standing, mid SDWIS violation third
34% of 61 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 34% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds). Population rank #1,236 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Sebring Water ; Sewer System lands in the middle third by violation volume (61), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (44,900; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 34% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 2 PFAS compounds (lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds)).
