Under EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, every Florida community and non-transient non-community water system has to have its lead service line inventory baseline in place by November 1, 2027, then replace its lead and galvanized-requiring-replacement lines over the following ten years. This report shows what Florida's systems have reported to EPA so far, statewide and system by system. Every name links to that system's page.

Larger systems with no line counts in EPA's data

EPA's service line inventory data shows no line counts for these systems serving 3,301 or more people. That can mean the inventory was not submitted, was submitted in a form EPA has not loaded yet, or that the system has no service lines of its own (a wholesaler, for example). Check with the system before drawing any conclusion.
