How does Timber Water Association compare with other water systems in Washington County?
By EPA's size categories, Timber Water Association is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Washington County has 97 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 6,158 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 597,296 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 Timber Water Association 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. 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 Timber Water Association?
EPA lists Timber Water Association 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. 65 of the 97 active systems in Washington County (67%) are also privately owned.
Does Timber Water Association have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2025 and February 2026. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 4 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
