The review, carried out by three inspectors on June 6, included visits to all three of the town’s water treatment plants.
The inspection evaluated key aspects of the town’s water system, including water sampling plans, maintenance records, emergency preparedness and cross-connection control. Utility staff provided documentation showing that the town is maintaining and operating its water system in accordance with state requirements and public health standards.
The inspection reviewed the town’s:
-
Routine bacteriological and lead/copper sampling
-
Water quality monitoring

Equipment maintenance and calibration
-
System mapping and emergency response
-
Cross-connection control and backflow prevention
“The Town of Lady Lake has a very dedicated utility team that continually serves 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to protect the health and welfare of our community,” said Utilities Supervisor Butch Goodman. “Despite our ongoing projects, emergency work and hurricanes, our staff remains focused and dedicated to keeping the water plants and distribution system in compliance with all regulatory requirements and everyday customer concerns.”
The Town of Lady Lake remains committed to delivering safe, reliable drinking water and will continue to follow best practices in water system operation and maintenance.
