Concord Water Dept standing, low SDWIS violation third

100% of 4 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 100% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #1,251 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

Concord Water Dept is in the lower third by violation count (4; 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 large (44,215; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 100% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
