For a bit over 100 years, morning at girlfriend's farm began

ran a steel pipe from deep in the spring to an electric pump
in the farmhouse in 1959. Girlfriend was overjoyed at indoor
plumbing (finally).

All was well until about ten years ago when the State

Why is spring water banned?

 
There's a risk of contamination.
 
"The Dangers of Drinking Spring Water and Raw Water"
<https://health.clevelandclinic.org/raw-water>
 
There are a few springs in the area.  Two of these are at easily
accessible roadside locations where the general public can obtain
genuine spring water.  When they were still functional, I used to see
cars full of large water containers, filling up at the springs.  One
had a large concrete basin to make it easier.  I used to grab about 3
gallons when it was convenient.
 
I don't recall what got into the water.  Some people got sick.  It was
traced to the roadside springs.  The result was the two springs were
eventually closed. 
 
For a time, we had a variety of bugs in water just after the first
rains.  The water would wash all the accumulated animal droppings from
the hillsides into the creeks.  The local water district usually gets
most of its water from surface sources (river, creek, streams).  When
there was a chance of grounwater contamination, they would switch to
well water.
 
During the CZU fire (2020):
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZU_Lightning_Complex_fires>
we were boiling water in some parts of the valley because of ground
water contamination (benzene) from the backflow into melted PVC pipes.

Your adjacent reservoirs provide you clean drinking water if peoole up on the surrounding hills aren't running leachfields.

 
Loch Lomond is the only adjacent reservoir in the area.
<https://www.cityofsantacruz.com/government/city-departments/water/watershed/loch-lomond-recreation>
The reservoir and its water are owned by the city of Santa Cruz.  My
area, the San Lorenzo Valley Water District has some rights to its
water, but only for emergencies, such as fighting fires.
 
Another adjacent reservoir might be Lexington Reservoir:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexington_Reservoir>
The reservoir and its water are owned by the Santa Clara Valley Water
District.  To the best of my knowledge, there is no water sharing
pipeline or agreement with the Santa Cruz or San Lorenzo Valley water
districts.
 
Leach fields have little to do with the large reservoirs unless the
leach fields are too close to the reservoir.  The minimum distance
varies with soil conditions and local government regulations.  Typical
numbers are between 50 and 200 ft:

<https://www.water-doctor.com/blog/distance-between-septic-tank-well/>
 

The fear of that is why they have to run constant water quality testing.

 
Today's automated monitoring and testing equipment is quite efficient.

Because of rains and snow melt from the last 4 years most of the states reservoirs are filled to the highest levels possible. This is why Newsome thought that he could get away with tearing down dams and eoliminating reservoirs supposedly for the Salmon which were not endangered no matter what the environmentalist press tells you.

 
Nice conspiracy theory.

Do you bother to verify your numbers?  The last 2.5 years, no 4 years,
have had above normal rainfall in MOST of California.  See the
colorful graph:

"Historical Data and Conditions "
<https://www.drought.gov/historical-information?state=california&dataset=0&selectedDateUSDM=20250617>

Most of the salmon runs are the small rivers that flow directly into the sea and the Sacramentoi and San Juaquin river systems.

I couldn't find the distribution of salmon in California rivers.  This
was the best I could find, which isn't very detailed:
<https://casalmon.org/salmon-rivers/>
Apparently, the problem is that lack of both historical and up to date
census data.

Tearing down SMALL dams with fish ladders on them have no effect on pacific salmon.

I hadn't heard that claim.  I did some digging on the internet and
found that both sides of that argument are well represented.  I could
draw no conclusions from what seems like emotional and political
discussions.  Could I trouble you for your definitive sources?

But your inventions simply don't include the facts that a single Salmon can release a thousand roe and larger runs of salmon simply overload the system and the Salmon die of starvation before even reaching the sea.

I also haven't seen that claim.  Sources please?

One thing is certain.  Restoring the river will not restore the salmon
population overnight.  Such things take time.

This might be of interest:
<https://www.reddit.com/r/megafaunarewilding/comments/1bvyw1x/largest_dam_removal_in_us_history_could_increase/>
"If modeling is correct, as many as 80% more Chinook salmon could
return to the basin within about 30 years after the dams are removed.
Ocean harvest could increase by as much as 46%."

Moreover, you can have your cake and eat it too. You can install slots under the dam that offer no resistance other than increased current to Salmon while retaining the power generation ability of dams in an energy poor area of the state.

Under the dam is silt.  No turbine or fish can live in that.

Liebermann, the expert on everything fails yet again.

Thank you.  I graciously accept the title of "expert on everything".
