Village Water System standing, high SDWIS violation third
69% of 108 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 69% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds). Population rank #4,407 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Village Water System sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (108), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is large (10,890; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 69% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 1 PFAS compound (lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds)).

Violation Count vs. the National Corpus
Village Water System has 108 recorded EPA violations, 75% of the 29,740 public water systems serving 500+ people nationwide carry fewer, and 25% carry more. 69% of this system's own violations are health-based (74 of 108), and it ranks #4,407 of 29,740 by population served among that same cohort.

How many violations vs. how serious, among peer systems
Village 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.
