Atlantic City Mua standing, high SDWIS violation third
152,415 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 11% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds). Population rank #287 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Atlantic City Mua sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (122), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is large (152,415; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 11% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 4 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
