How does Lakeshore Utility compare with other water systems in Henderson County?
By EPA's size categories, Lakeshore Utility is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Henderson County has 73 active public water systems.

What does “community water system” mean?

Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Texas has 4,594 active community water systems, 65% of the state's 7,078 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 5,215 Texas systems (74%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Lakeshore Utility?
EPA lists Lakeshore Utility as privately owned. The TX state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 37 of the 73 active systems in Henderson County (51%) are also privately owned.
Does Lakeshore Utility have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between September 1992 and April 2026. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting, 1 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 3 as unaddressed and 3 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
