How does Florida City compare with other water systems in Miami-Dade County?
By EPA's size categories, Florida City is a large system (10,001 to 100,000 people). Miami-Dade County has 172 active public water systems. Its population served is about 30% below the county average of 19,337 people per system, and accounts for 0.4% of the 3,326,006 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 Florida City is about twice 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. 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 Florida City?
EPA lists Florida City as owned by a local government. 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. 29 of the 172 active systems in Miami-Dade County (17%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Florida City have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2010 and July 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is E. coli (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived, 3 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
