CWSC SALINAS is one of 92 community water systems in California in the more than 100,000 people size category, serving 123,679 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2007 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.
Of the 3, 2 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves inorganic chemicals and the Total Coliform Rules.
