FOREST LAKES MWC is one of 728 community water systems in California in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,067 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 2005 and 2008, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2008.
Of the 4, 1 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, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
