How does Marys Garden compare with other water systems in Yakima County?
By EPA's size categories, Marys Garden is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Yakima County has 217 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,230 people per system, and accounts for 0.1% of the 266,832 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 Marys Garden 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 Marys Garden?
EPA lists Marys Garden 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. 182 of the 217 active systems in Yakima County (84%) are also privately owned.
Does Marys Garden have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2019. The violations listed here began between October 1979 and January 2019. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 10 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.
