Warren County Utility District standing, mid SDWIS violation third
38% of 24 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort).

The verdict
Warren County Utility District lands in the middle third by violation volume (24), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (29,827; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 38% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 1 PFAS compound (lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds)).
