Inkster standing, mid SDWIS violation third

0% of 31 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: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #2,210 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

Inkster lands in the middle third by violation volume (31), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (25,076; 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 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
