What does “community water system” mean?

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 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.
Who owns and regulates Heather Hills Estates?

Does Heather Hills Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2024 and October 2025. By type: 6 monitoring, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 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.
