Who owns and regulates Gull Bay Beach?

Does Gull Bay Beach have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2016. The violations listed here began between January 2002 and July 2016. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 of them). EPA lists 11 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.
