How does Cove Owners Association compare with other water systems in Chelan County?
By EPA's size categories, Cove Owners Association is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Chelan County has 131 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 931 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 121,966 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Washington, the 4,705 active systems average 2,172 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Cove Owners Association is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Washington has 1,913 active transient non-community water systems, 41% of the state's 4,705 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,370 Washington systems (93%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Cove Owners Association?

Does Cove Owners Association have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2007. The violations listed here began between October 1979 and June 2007. By type: 7 required treatment not met and 5 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (8 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.
