OREGON CITY - HIGH MTN. is one of 63 community water systems in Oregon in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, formerly serving 8,500 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1985; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1976 and 1979, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1979.
All 10 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves inorganic chemicals and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
