California has 1,466 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 7,479 active systems.

Who owns and regulates Deetjen'S Big Sur Inn Ws?

Does Deetjen'S Big Sur Inn Ws have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between July 2001 and October 2024. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (2 of them).

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.
