How does Pelican Bay compare with other water systems in Brevard County?
By EPA's size categories, Pelican Bay is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Brevard County has 82 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 9,001 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 738,073 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Florida, the 5,197 active systems average 4,345 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Pelican Bay is well below that figure.
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. 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 Pelican Bay?
EPA lists Pelican Bay as privately owned. 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. 64 of the 82 active systems in Brevard County (78%) are also privately owned.
Does Pelican Bay have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2007 and September 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is E. coli (3 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
