How does Southern Truss compare with other water systems in St. Lucie County?
By EPA's size categories, Southern Truss is a very small system (500 people or fewer). St. Lucie County has 45 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 7,334 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 330,048 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Florida, the 5,197 active systems average 4,345 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Southern Truss is well below that figure.
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 Southern Truss?
EPA lists Southern Truss 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. 37 of the 45 active systems in St. Lucie County (82%) are also privately owned.
Does Southern Truss have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2024 and July 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as unaddressed and 6 as archived. 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.
