Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 85 Florida systems (1.6%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.

Does Gateway Services District have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 4 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2014. The violations listed here began between October 2006 and April 2014. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminants or rules involved are Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Haloacetic acids (HAA5), Total coliform bacteria (TCR) and Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule. EPA lists 2 as resolved, 1 as archived and 1 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.
