Investigation context

Weather + hydrology context for Willacy County

Composite operating context — active hazards, hydrologic features, surface-water condition, and infrastructure footprint — pulled from cached snapshots only.

Active hazard footprint
0 active alerts

No NWS-driven alerts active in the cached water-summary feed. Drought + precipitation context land once those snapshots are committed.

No sewer overflow rows in the 30-day window.

Hydrology features
4 TWDB features

GULF_COAST · Nueces-Rio Grande · Rio Grande · South Laguna Madre

1 Major Aquifers · 2 Major River Basins · 1 HUC 8 Hydrologic Units

Surface water condition
1 impaired / 1 segments

100% of cached TCEQ surface segments in this county carry at least one impairment flag.

Basin: Nueces-Rio Grande Coastal Basin

Drinking-water exposure
7 SDWIS violations

2 public water systems with cached health-based violations since 2023-04-01. 2,384 people served by those systems.

Top PWS: PORT MANSFIELD PUD (6 viol.) · Top contaminant code: 2950

Stream gauge coverage
0 active gauges

No active stream gauges in the cached water-summary feed. Hydrologic stress signal lands once gauges fold in.

USGS streamflow anomaly + drought class join in next-up.

Boil-water proxy · microbial rule
No microbial violations cached

No SDWIS rule-group 100 microbial violations cached for this county. Tier-1 boil-water-equivalent events activate this lane when they post.

Treatment stress · E2 disinfectant
5 disinfectant violations

1 PWS carry SDWIS rule-group 200 (Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule) violations — the same rule family that drives E2 disinfectant residual reporting.

Impaired surface segments in this county
  • Arroyo Colorado Tidal
    Nueces-Rio Grande Coastal Basin · aquatic life, contact recreation, fish consumption

Impairment is a legal-use-support classification, not a direct harm claim.

Analytics snapshot

Risk trend from committed snapshots

Uses the committed county-history artifact only. Atlas does not backfill imaginary periods; if a previous snapshot is missing, this panel says so.

Interpretation

What changed and why

Willacy County is currently driven most by water districts in the county explorer stack, while the committed analytics lane classifies it as high pressure + lower risk.

Across the latest two committed snapshots, both the county risk score and pressure score are unchanged, so the analytical read is about persistent position rather than a new spike. The county is steady across the latest committed comparison window.

High pressure + lower risk
Surface-water pressure is elevated relative to peers, but the county risk score is below the current statewide median.
Grounding and caveats

County analytics are derived from committed SDWIS, ACS county population, surface-water-quality, and TWDB hydrology snapshots. History appends one real snapshot per run and never fabricates prior periods.

  • countyRiskScore is the statewide 0-100 normalization of summed SDWIS DWRS raw scores per county.
  • pressureScore is the statewide 0-100 normalization of impaired segment counts per 100k residents when population is available; otherwise it falls back to raw impaired segment count.
  • Rank deltas compare the newest county-history snapshot against the immediately preceding real snapshot.
  • Both axes are normalized to a 0-100 statewide range for stable chart consumption.

Top systems behind the county signal

When county-history carries system-level highlights, Atlas surfaces the systems contributing the most to the latest committed risk snapshot.

Operator lane

Operators visible in this county snapshot

Ranked only from the current permittee and CID applicant snapshot. Atlas links out where operator presence is visible; it does not invent a deeper hierarchy or historical market share.

0 visible operators
No operator grouping is visible for this county in the current permit and CID snapshot.

County ↔ operator navigation

Move from county stress to named operators

County rankings show where signal concentrates. Operator pages show which named permittees and applicants are currently visible inside that signal.

This county currently has no grounded operator crosslink from the permit/CID dataset, so Atlas keeps the page anchored in county and permit context only.
  • • County page: risk, hydrology, and statewide rank context.
  • • Operator page: county footprint, open CID case posture, and pending permit roster.
  • • Permit view: county-scoped transaction list for the current public snapshot.
