How does Camp Tiger compare with other water systems in Polk County?

By EPA's size categories, Camp Tiger is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Polk County has 401 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,677 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 672,540 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Camp Tiger is about 44% below that figure.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Florida has 2,777 active transient non-community water systems, 53% 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 Camp Tiger?

EPA lists Camp Tiger as privately owned. 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. 339 of the 401 active systems in Polk County (85%) are also privately owned.

Does Camp Tiger have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between January 1997 and October 2024. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved. 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.
