How does Pinetree Village compare with other water systems in Plymouth County?
By EPA's size categories, Pinetree Village is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Plymouth County has 129 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 4,447 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 573,676 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Pinetree Village is well below that figure.

Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Massachusetts has 531 active community water systems, 32% of the state's 1,636 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,354 Massachusetts systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Pinetree Village have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2022. The violations listed here began between October 1991 and January 2022. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved and 4 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
