Who owns and regulates Saddleback Campground?

Does Saddleback Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2020. The violations listed here began between April 1997 and May 2020. By type: 3 required treatment not met, 2 reporting, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 1 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.
