The verdict
Oak Hills Water System lands in the middle third by violation volume (60), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is smaller (192; smaller served population (≤ 999)), so each violation row represents a compact service footprint. Health-based share is 32% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.

Oak Hills Water System 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.
