RAINIER WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 428 community water systems in Washington in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,758 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 64 entries between 1979 and 2025, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.

Of the 64, 60 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 volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.

EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
