How does Wayside Convenience Store compare with other water systems in Gadsden County?
By EPA's size categories, Wayside Convenience Store is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Gadsden County has 26 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Wayside Convenience Store is well below that figure.

Does Wayside Convenience Store have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2022 and July 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 4 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is E. coli (6 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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. 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.
