Water Quality Snapshot: MINNEOLA WATER DEPARTMENT (2 WPS)

MINNEOLA WATER DEPARTMENT (2 WPS) is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 21,521 residents in MINNEOLA, Florida (Lake County) through 6,149 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 66 total violations for this system , of which 4 (6%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 41 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2025.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Nitrate, recorded in 15 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 6 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 0.0071 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Florida, EPA tracks 5,093 public water systems serving 22,381,282 people, with 184,355 cumulative violations and 24,266 health-based violations on record. About 93% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 36.2 violations.
