How does Vineyard compare with other water systems in Lewis County?
By EPA's size categories, Vineyard is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lewis County has 166 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 537 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 89,186 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Vineyard is about 56% below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Washington has 1,913 active transient non-community water systems, 41% 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 Vineyard?
EPA lists Vineyard 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. 117 of the 166 active systems in Lewis County (70%) are also privately owned.
Does Vineyard have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2013. The violations listed here began between August 1997 and February 2013. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (11 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.
