Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 105 Oregon systems (4.1%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates City of Phoenix?

Does City of Phoenix have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between June 1976 and October 2023. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 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.
