How does Camp Serene compare with other water systems in Lane County?
By EPA's size categories, Camp Serene is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lane County has 231 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Camp Serene is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Oregon has 1,250 active transient non-community water systems, 49% of the state's 2,536 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,175 Oregon systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Camp Serene?

The OR state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 3 of the 231 active systems in Lane County (1.3%) are also under public/private ownership.
Does Camp Serene have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2022 and August 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and 5 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
