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 Lakeport Water Association?

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. 3 of the 15 active systems in Glades County (20%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Lakeport Water Association have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 9 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2006 and July 2025. By type: 9 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (8 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
