August 2026 · Orevant Compliance Intelligence
Florida water systems face a demanding compliance environment. Aging infrastructure, nitrate risk in agricultural areas, saltwater intrusion along the coast, and FDEP regulatory requirements layered on top of federal EPA standards create a compliance calendar that is difficult to manage without a system. In 2026, PFAS enforcement is entering full effect and LCRR is in active implementation.
Florida primary drinking water regulations are codified under Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-550. FDEP enforces these standards through its Source of Drinking Water section, which conducts sanitary surveys and issues enforcement actions. Florida state standards incorporate EPA requirements and in some cases are more stringent.
Florida community water systems must complete initial PFAS monitoring by April 2027. Florida has seen elevated PFAS detection rates particularly near military bases and industrial sites. Detections above the MCL require public notification within 30 days.
Florida systems must maintain and annually update a complete lead service line inventory. Florida older coastal communities often have infrastructure dating to the mid-20th century with incomplete material records making the inventory process particularly involved.
Agricultural runoff in Florida farming regions creates elevated nitrate risk. Nitrate above 10 mg/L requires immediate Tier 1 public notification within 24 hours. Systems in agricultural areas face more frequent monitoring requirements.
Florida community water systems must deliver a CCR to all customers by July 1 each year. FDEP requires Spanish-language notification in many service areas.
