Who owns and regulates Rake Water Supply?

Does Rake Water Supply have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2019. The violations listed here began between April 1986 and June 2019. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, Alachlor (Lasso) and Lead and Copper Rule. EPA lists 10 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.
