Alabama has 45 active transient non-community water systems, 7.8% of the state's 576 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 302 Alabama systems (52%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Southport Campgrounds?

Does Southport Campgrounds have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2025. The violations listed here began between December 1997 and June 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 3 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
