M S WSC standing, high SDWIS violation third
86% of 584 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 86% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #23,615 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
M S WSC sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (584), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is smaller (744; smaller served population (≤ 999)), so each violation row represents a compact service footprint. Health-based share is 86% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
