Central Nash Water & Sewer standing, mid SDWIS violation third
7,675 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 18% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds). Population rank #5,794 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Central Nash Water & Sewer lands in the middle third by violation volume (65), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (7,675; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 18% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 3 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
