Bcwsa Sangaree W/D (0820002) standing, low SDWIS violation third
48% of 21 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 48% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds). Population rank #522 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Bcwsa Sangaree W/D (0820002) is in the lower third by violation count (21; lower-third violation load (≤ 21 violations)). A low count does not mean the system is unmonitored - monitoring and reporting violations still appear in SDWIS. Population served is large (95,345; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 48% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 5 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
