How does Providence Christian Academy compare with other water systems in Lane County?
By EPA's size categories, Providence Christian Academy is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lane County has 231 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,415 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 326,858 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Oregon, the 2,536 active systems average 1,587 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Providence Christian Academy is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Oregon has 346 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% 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 Providence Christian Academy?
EPA lists Providence Christian Academy 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. 155 of the 231 active systems in Lane County (67%) are also privately owned.
Does Providence Christian Academy have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2009 and January 2026. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 monitoring and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
