BLACK BEAR RESERVE is one of 925 community water systems in Florida in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 625 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 2001 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
All 4 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 Total Coliform Rules and inorganic chemicals.
