The verdict
Shady Hollow MUD is in the lower third by violation count (15; lower-third violation load (≤ 21 violations)). A low count does not mean the system is unmonitored - monitoring and reporting violations still appear in SDWIS. Population served is large (4,269; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 53% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.
