How does Pleasant Cove compare with other water systems in Mason County?
By EPA's size categories, Pleasant Cove is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Mason County has 240 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 315 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 75,633 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 Pleasant Cove is well below that figure.

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 Pleasant Cove?

Does Pleasant Cove have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2002 and August 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 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.
