SUNSTONE - BARGER is one of 1,168 community water systems in Oregon in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 20 people from groundwater.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2002; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 1998 and 2010, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2010.
Of the 11, 8 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 the Total Coliform Rules, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Groundwater Rule.
