Glenelg Country School standing, mid SDWIS violation third
32% of 65 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 32% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds). Population rank #20,376 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Glenelg Country School lands in the middle third by violation volume (65), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is smaller (950; 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. UCMR5 detected 7 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
