How does Forest Park compare with other water systems in Thurston County?
By EPA's size categories, Forest Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Thurston County has 322 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,233 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 397,060 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 Forest Park 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. 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 Forest Park?
EPA lists Forest Park as privately owned. The WA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 237 of the 322 active systems in Thurston County (74%) are also privately owned.
Does Forest Park have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2020. The violations listed here began between November 2004 and July 2020. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 3 as archived and 2 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.
