How does Olympic Corrections Center compare with other water systems in Jefferson County?
By EPA's size categories, Olympic Corrections Center is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Jefferson County has 70 active public water systems. Its population served is about 42% below the county average of 674 people per system, and accounts for 0.8% of the 47,151 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 Olympic Corrections Center is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?

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.

Does Olympic Corrections Center have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2020. The violations listed here began between October 1979 and July 2020. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 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.
