Who owns and regulates Saltwater Farm Vineyard?

Does Saltwater Farm Vineyard have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2023. The violations listed here began between April 2011 and December 2023. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved and 3 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.
