Perryville PWS standing, mid SDWIS violation third
28% of 74 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 28% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #5,327 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Perryville PWS lands in the middle third by violation volume (74), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (8,555; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 28% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.

How many violations vs. how serious, among peer systems
Perryville PWS 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.
