Pleasant Valley Pwd standing, mid SDWIS violation third
3,783 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 3% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds). Population rank #9,198 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Pleasant Valley Pwd lands in the middle third by violation volume (58), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (3,783; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 3% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 3 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).

How many violations vs. how serious, among peer systems
Pleasant Valley Pwd 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.
