127 systems for 384,504 people works out to roughly one system per 3,000 residents — against Miami-Dade's one per 130,000. Small systems, many of them private, and a large share of homes on private wells that appear in no utility dataset at all. Clermont East Water System serves about 36,600 at 7 of 17. If you are on a well here, no published figure describes your water; only a lab analysis does.
What this does and does not mean
EWG's health guidelines are stricter than federal EPA limits, so water that exceeds them is usually still legal to serve. The dataset reports how many contaminants were detected above guideline, not which ones — the only way to know what is in the water at your tap is to test it there.
