How does Royal Estates compare with other water systems in Marion County?
By EPA's size categories, Royal Estates is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Marion County has 192 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,921 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 368,811 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 Royal Estates 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 Royal Estates?
EPA lists Royal Estates 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. 133 of the 192 active systems in Marion County (69%) are also privately owned.
Does Royal Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between October 2022 and January 2026. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Picloram (4 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.
