The verdict
Kay Co RWD #5 (Dale Water Corp) sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (116), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is smaller (765; smaller served population (≤ 999)), so each violation row represents a compact service footprint. Health-based share is 78% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 4 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
