How does Darling Ingredients compare with other water systems in Bradford County?
By EPA's size categories, Darling Ingredients is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Bradford County has 24 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 688 people per system, and accounts for 0.4% of the 16,504 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 Darling Ingredients 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 Darling Ingredients?
EPA lists Darling Ingredients 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. 18 of the 24 active systems in Bradford County (75%) are also privately owned.
Does Darling Ingredients have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between October 1992 and January 2025. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 1 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.
