Lehman Jackson Elementary standing, high SDWIS violation third

875 people served (SDWIS) - smaller served population (≤ 999). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 1% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds). Population rank #21,485 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

Lehman Jackson Elementary sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (346), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is smaller (875; smaller served population (≤ 999)), so each violation row represents a compact service footprint. Health-based share is 1% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 3 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
