Outlet Shops at Gettysburg standing, high SDWIS violation third

6,500 people served (SDWIS) - larger served population (> 3,309). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 6% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds). Population rank #6,461 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

Outlet Shops at Gettysburg sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (254), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is large (6,500; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 6% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 4 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
