How does Shady Cove MHP compare with other water systems in Jackson County?
By EPA's size categories, Shady Cove MHP is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Jackson County has 200 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 983 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 196,508 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 Shady Cove MHP 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. 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 Shady Cove MHP?
EPA lists Shady Cove MHP 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. 153 of the 200 active systems in Jackson County (77%) are also privately owned.
Does Shady Cove MHP have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between May 2025 and January 2026. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 3 as resolved and 2 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
