How does Cove Partnership compare with other water systems in Klamath County?
By EPA's size categories, Cove Partnership is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Klamath County has 106 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 549 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 58,234 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Oregon, the 2,536 active systems average 1,587 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Cove Partnership is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Oregon has 940 active community water systems, 37% 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 Cove Partnership?
EPA lists Cove Partnership as privately owned. 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. 73 of the 106 active systems in Klamath County (69%) are also privately owned.
Does Cove Partnership have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2025. The violations listed here began between May 2023 and December 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (9 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
