How does Copeland Park compare with other water systems in Alachua County?
By EPA's size categories, Copeland Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Alachua County has 65 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 3,482 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 226,317 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Florida, the 5,197 active systems average 4,345 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Copeland Park is well 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 Copeland Park?
EPA lists Copeland Park 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. 39 of the 65 active systems in Alachua County (60%) are also privately owned.
Does Copeland Park have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2018. The violations listed here began between July 1994 and August 2018. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 as archived. 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.
