Port Allen Water System standing, mid SDWIS violation third
70% of 43 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 70% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #6,271 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Port Allen Water System lands in the middle third by violation volume (43), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (6,759; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 70% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
