Water comes from Town of Cuba Water & Sb
Town of Cuba Water & Sb supplies Cuba: about 50% of residents live in its service area. About 50% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated ground water (EPA lists Sumter County Water Authority as seller) and serves 570 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 5,327 systems serving 501–1,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2024–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 1.8 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
