HOLIDAY PINES is one of 299 community water systems in Delaware in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 210 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1984 and 1991, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1991.
