ORCHID SPRINGS is one of 925 community water systems in Florida in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 750 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 2003 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 10, 8 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, the Groundwater Rule, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
