Ellington PWS standing, mid SDWIS violation third
900 people served (SDWIS) - smaller served population (≤ 999). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 13% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #21,076 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Ellington PWS lands in the middle third by violation volume (45), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is smaller (900; smaller served population (≤ 999)), so each violation row represents a compact service footprint. Health-based share is 13% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
