Chatfield WSC standing, mid SDWIS violation third

68% of 22 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 68% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds). Population rank #6,422 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.

The verdict

Chatfield WSC lands in the middle third by violation volume (22), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (6,546; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 68% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 4 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
