How does Fern Crest East compare with other water systems in Broward County?
By EPA's size categories, Fern Crest East is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Broward County has 55 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 34,823 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 1,915,270 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Florida, the 5,197 active systems average 4,345 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Fern Crest East is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Florida has 1,640 active community water systems, 32% of the state's 5,197 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 87 Florida systems (1.7%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Fern Crest East?
EPA lists Fern Crest East 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. 16 of the 55 active systems in Broward County (29%) are also privately owned.
Does Fern Crest East have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2025. The violations listed here began between September 2024 and November 2025. By type: 9 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (9 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved, 4 as archived and 3 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
