How does Thousand Palms Resort compare with other water systems in Sumter County?
By EPA's size categories, Thousand Palms Resort is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Sumter County has 83 active public water systems.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Florida has 780 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% 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 Thousand Palms Resort?
EPA lists Thousand Palms Resort 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. 65 of the 83 active systems in Sumter County (78%) are also privately owned.
Does Thousand Palms Resort have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2025. The violations listed here began between April 1991 and February 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 required treatment not met, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived, 3 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.
