How does Cliff'S Marina compare with other water systems in Sacramento County?
By EPA's size categories, Cliff'S Marina is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Sacramento County has 164 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 10,325 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 1,693,284 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across California, the 7,479 active systems average 5,706 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Cliff'S Marina is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

California has 3,016 active transient non-community water systems, 40% of the state's 7,479 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,179 California systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Cliff'S Marina?

Does Cliff'S Marina have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2015. The violations listed here began between August 1984 and September 2015. By type: 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 3 as resolved and 2 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
