BIG BEND WATER AUTHORITY is one of 925 community water systems in Florida in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,700 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 64 entries between 2001 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

Of the 64, 19 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 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Total Coliform Rules.
