Sheetz 221 standing, mid SDWIS violation third
67% of 24 recorded violations are health-based - upper-third health share (> 23%). Corpus terciles use 29,740 systems serving 500+ (the sitemap cohort). Health-based share 67% is upper-third health share (> 23%). UCMR5: upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds). Population rank #10,508 of 29,740 among systems serving 500+.
The verdict
Sheetz 221 lands in the middle third by violation volume (24), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is mid-pack at 3,038 (mid served population (≤ 3,309)). Health-based share is 67% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 5 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
