The verdict
Murray State College sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (199), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is mid-pack at 1,150 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is 29% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.

How many violations vs. how serious, among peer systems
Murray State College plotted against 29 peer public water systems (500+ people served), by total violation count (x) and the share of those violations that are health-based (y). The crosshair sits at this sample's own median on each axis. A high violation count does not automatically mean a serious record: most monitoring and reporting violations are minor, not health-based.
