Gray standing, mid SDWIS violation third
0% of 56 recorded violations are health-based - lower-third health share (≤ 1%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 0% is lower-third health share (≤ 1%). UCMR5: upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds). Population rank #4,881 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Gray lands in the middle third by violation volume (56), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (9,551; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is only 0% - almost all of this trail is monitoring or reporting. UCMR5 detected 6 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
