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. Surface water means the system draws its water from rivers, lakes, streams or reservoirs. 211 Oregon systems (8.3%) list surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Rhododendron Wtr Assoc?
EPA lists Rhododendron Wtr Assoc 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 241 active systems in Clackamas County (64%) are also privately owned.
Does Rhododendron Wtr Assoc have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2017 and March 2026. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 3 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (10 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived and 6 as resolved. 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. 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.
