By EPA's size categories, Cumberland Coop Water System is a very small system (500 people or fewer). King County has 214 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Cumberland Coop Water System is well below that figure.

Does Cumberland Coop Water System 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 2023. The violations listed here began between May 1997 and February 2023. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (3 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.
