BACKWATER HEIGHTS is one of 3,067 community water systems in Florida in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 267 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 2006 and 2024, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 11, 10 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, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
