How does St. Lucie Falls compare with other water systems in Martin County?

By EPA's size categories, St. Lucie Falls is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Martin County has 60 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 2,688 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 161,250 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 St. Lucie Falls 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. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 87 Florida systems (1.7%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates St. Lucie Falls?

EPA lists St. Lucie Falls 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. 50 of the 60 active systems in Martin County (83%) are also privately owned.

Does St. Lucie Falls have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2025. The violations listed here began between September 2022 and April 2025. By type: 8 monitoring, 2 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed 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. 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.
