How does Fields Water Association compare with other water systems in Island County?
By EPA's size categories, Fields Water Association is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Island County has 307 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 335 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 102,977 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Washington, the 4,705 active systems average 2,172 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Fields Water Association is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?

Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Washington has 2,392 active community water systems, 51% 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 Fields Water Association?

Does Fields Water Association have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2017. The violations listed here began between July 2006 and July 2017. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (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.
