The verdict

Ogallala, City Of sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (99), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is large (4,878; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 99% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
