Paxton WSC Jackson Plant standing, high SDWIS violation third
827 people served (SDWIS) - smaller served population (≤ 999). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 12% is middle-third health share (≤ 23%). UCMR5: UCMR5 tested, none detected. Population rank #22,056 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Paxton WSC Jackson Plant sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (99), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is smaller (827; smaller served population (≤ 999)), so each violation row represents a compact service footprint. Health-based share is 12% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
