How does Bentonwood compare with other water systems in St. Lucie County?
By EPA's size categories, Bentonwood is a very small system (500 people or fewer). St. Lucie County has 45 active public water systems.

Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,996 Florida systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Bentonwood?

Does Bentonwood have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2025. The violations listed here began between December 2024 and November 2025. By type: 6 monitoring, 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived, 5 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
