Desoto PWS standing, mid SDWIS violation third

75% of 32 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 75% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #6,535 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

Desoto PWS lands in the middle third by violation volume (32), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (6,400; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 75% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
