How does Blackwater Forestry Headquarters compare with other water systems in Santa Rosa County?
By EPA's size categories, Blackwater Forestry Headquarters is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Santa Rosa County has 24 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 9,212 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 221,087 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Florida, the 5,197 active systems average 4,345 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Blackwater Forestry Headquarters is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Florida has 780 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% of the state's 5,197 active 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 Blackwater Forestry Headquarters?
EPA lists Blackwater Forestry Headquarters as owned by a state government. The FL state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 4 of the 24 active systems in Santa Rosa County (17%) are also owned by a state government.
Does Blackwater Forestry Headquarters have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and July 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 5 as unaddressed, 4 as archived and 3 as resolved. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
