How does Spring Gardens compare with other water systems in Citrus County?
By EPA's size categories, Spring Gardens is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Citrus County has 149 active public water systems. Its population served is about 56% below the county average of 831 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 123,866 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 Spring Gardens 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 Spring Gardens?
EPA lists Spring Gardens as under public/private ownership. 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. 8 of the 149 active systems in Citrus County (5.4%) are also under public/private ownership.
Does Spring Gardens have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between October 1984 and August 2025. By type: 6 monitoring and 6 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
