Does Sunrise Sawgrass have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between November 2024 and September 2025. By type: 9 monitoring, 1 reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (10 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as unaddressed.
