The verdict
Lamplighter South-Danby lands in the middle third by violation volume (49), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is mid-pack at 3,297 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is only 0% - almost all of this trail is monitoring or reporting. UCMR5 detected 6 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
