LWWSD - SOUTH SHORE WATER SYSTEM is one of 111 community water systems in Washington in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 10,028 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1979 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.

Of the 26, 23 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, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
