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 Golden Terrace?

Does Golden Terrace have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2022 and August 2025. By type: 6 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 1 as archived. 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.
