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.

Does The Harbor Waterfront Resort have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2024. The violations listed here began between April 1991 and February 2024. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is E. coli (3 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived, 5 as resolved and 1 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.
