EAST WATER SYSTEM is one of 311 community water systems in Florida in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,052 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 18 entries between 2009 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 18, 17 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 Groundwater Rule and the Total Coliform Rules.
