Wickson Creek Sud standing, mid SDWIS violation third

UCMR5 detected 2 PFAS compounds - lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 13% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds). Population rank #3,468 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

Wickson Creek Sud lands in the middle third by violation volume (30), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (15,000; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 13% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 detected 2 PFAS compounds (lower-third PFAS panel (≤ 2 compounds)).
