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 Country Oaks?

Does Country Oaks have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 4 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2025. The violations listed here began between October 1994 and February 2025. By type: 1 reporting, 1 required treatment not met, 1 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (2 of them). EPA lists 2 as unaddressed, 1 as resolved and 1 as archived. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
