The verdict
Sea Isle City Water Department lands in the middle third by violation volume (49), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (15,800; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is only 0% - almost all of this trail is monitoring or reporting. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
