OKATEE RIVER ESTATES is one of 1,060 community water systems in South Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 47 people from groundwater.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2000; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1981 and 1999, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1999.
Of the 5, 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 inorganic chemicals, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
