How does Ecowater compare with other water systems in Sarasota County?
By EPA's size categories, Ecowater is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Sarasota County has 81 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 6,012 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 486,971 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 Ecowater 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 Ecowater?
EPA lists Ecowater 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. 70 of the 81 active systems in Sarasota County (86%) are also privately owned.
Does Ecowater have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 3 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2013. The violations listed here began between October 1995 and January 2013. By type: 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 of them). EPA lists 2 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.
