These are EPA's facility records, not DWR structures. Which decreed rights sit behind an intake is the next phase; nothing here is inferred.

DWR structures that name this system

Source Probable join · fetched 2026-09-09 · matched on DWR's recorded contact or an EPA intake name; verify on the dossier

No DWR structure on file records this system as its contact, and none of its EPA intakes matches a structure name in its districts. DWR records a contact on only a fraction of structures, and only for districts fetched from its live service, so this is absence of a record, not evidence of no rights.

Compliance record

Source Register of another agency · fetched 2026-09-09 · verify at EPA ECHO ↗

EPA's summary: violations in 12 of the last 12 quarters, significant non-compliance in 1; not a serious violator. Contaminants in violation in the last three years, in EPA's words: 0300=Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule; 1040=Nitrate; 2456=Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5); 2950=TTHM. Currently in violation for: 0300=Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule.

7 health-based violations on the federal record all time, 0 violations open today. Most recent health-based: Treatment technique not met, compliance period from 2026-04-01.

Lead and copper: the latest 90th-percentile lead result is 0.003 mg/L (sampling period ending 2025-12-31) against an action level of 0.015 mg/L; 14 results on file.

SDWIS federal reporting carries violations and lead/copper percentiles only; nitrate, disinfection by-product and PFAS sample results are not in it. Codes are EPA's (violation, contaminant, rule); the ECHO report expands them.

PFAS and lithium: EPA's UCMR 5 monitoring, 2023–2025

EPA did not sample this system under UCMR 5 (the rule covered every system serving more than 3,300 people and a drawn sample of smaller ones).
