The verdict
Belmont Water Dept is in the lower third by violation count (21; lower-third violation load (≤ 21 violations)). A low count does not mean the system is unmonitored - monitoring and reporting violations still appear in SDWIS. Population served is mid-pack at 1,612 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is 100% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.
