BC WATER CO is one of 428 community water systems in Washington in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,262 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 2005 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
Of the 23, 14 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 Total Coliform Rules.
