GULF COUNTY WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 311 community water systems in Florida in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,287 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 28 entries between 2003 and 2024, of which 2 remain open; none are health-based.
Of the 28, 15 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 the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
