What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Florida has 780 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% 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 Homestead Air Force Base?
EPA lists Homestead Air Force Base as owned by the federal 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. 11 of the 172 active systems in Miami-Dade County (6.4%) are also owned by the federal government.
Does Homestead Air Force Base have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2025. The violations listed here began between November 2023 and March 2025. By type: 12 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (12 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved. 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.
