How does Spindrift Marina compare with other water systems in Sacramento County?
By EPA's size categories, Spindrift 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 community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Spindrift Marina is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. California has 2,997 active 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 Spindrift Marina?
EPA lists Spindrift Marina as privately owned. The CA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 115 of the 164 active systems in Sacramento County (70%) are also privately owned.
Does Spindrift Marina have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2022. The violations listed here began between June 1984 and October 2022. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
