Lake Casitas "drinking water"

The portion of the article I am concerned with is this:

"Lake Casitas is a lake in Ventura County, California. It was formed by Casitas Dam on Coyote Creek, two miles before it joins the Ventura River. Santa Ana Creek and North Fork Coyote Creek also flow into the lake. The dam was constructed of earth-fill and was completed in 1959. It is 279 feet tall and was built by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. The lake has a capacity of 254,000 acre-feet. The dam was built as part of the Ventura River Project. The project provides drinking water and water for irrigation. A secondary benefit is flood control. Human contact with the water is prohibited since it is used for drinking water, but fishing, boating and camping are permitted. During the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Lake Casitas hosted the rowing events."

I have been to Lake Casitas and I have seen (and read) the signs that prohibit human contact with the water. I also saw a small houseboat on the water that same day. Those are facts, to me, anyway.

However, if boating is allowed, how is that clean enough to be considered "drinking water"? Don't houseboats dump their refuse in the way of human waste into the water? I will be contacting Steve Wickstrum, Casitas Municipal Water District, PO Box 37, Oak View CA 93022 (805) 649-2251 x110 regarding whether or not the lake is still being used for drinking water.

I welcome any knowledgeable input about how the water resevoir in a lake can be considered drinkable with boating and fishing allowed on it. Thank you.
