KENT WATER DEPARTMENT is among the 8 largest community water systems in Washington, serving 166,421 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 31 entries between 1979 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 31, 30 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 synthetic organic chemicals, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
