The verdict
Aberdeen, Town Of sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (102), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is large (12,473; 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 detected 6 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
