Water comes from Santee Utility Commission
Santee Utility Commission supplies Santee: about 0% of residents live in its service area. About 100% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws ground water and serves 630 people in all.
11 health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026: a groundwater treatment requirement (Groundwater Rule) ×8, a bacteria testing requirement (Revised Total Coliform Rule) ×3, the latest beginning Jan 2026. 78% of the 5,327 systems serving 501–1,000 people had none. 7 older violations are still open, since 2026: a bacteria testing requirement (Revised Total Coliform Rule), per EPA’s records.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2020–Dec 2022, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
