By EPA's size categories, Rose Avenue Water Association is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Kitsap County has 220 active public water 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 Rose Avenue Water Association?

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. 164 of the 220 active systems in Kitsap County (75%) are also privately owned.
Does Rose Avenue 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 October 1999. The violations listed here began between March 1992 and October 1999. 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 Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (11 of them). EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 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.
