How does Sunshine Meadows compare with other water systems in Palm Beach County?
By EPA's size categories, Sunshine Meadows is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Palm Beach County has 71 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 22,405 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 1,590,728 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 Sunshine Meadows 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 Sunshine Meadows?
EPA lists Sunshine Meadows 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. 45 of the 71 active systems in Palm Beach County (63%) are also privately owned.
Does Sunshine Meadows have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2020 and April 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived, 4 as resolved and 2 as unaddressed. 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. 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.
