The verdict

City of Montgomery lands in the middle third by violation volume (36), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (3,771; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 11% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.
