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.

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 Paloma Properties, Inc..?

Does Paloma Properties, Inc.. have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2016 and July 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Gross alpha (excluding radon and uranium) (3 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 3 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.
