What the Data Shows in Sumter County

Sumter County shows 6 reported sanitary sewer releases and 300,250 gallons of volume in FDEP public notices for the trailing 12 months. That ranks Sumter County number 12 of 38 by reported volume. One event accounts for 250,000 gallons, the largest in the Sumter County window. Sumter County last appeared in the notice record on July 24, 2026.

Sumter County is predominantly newer construction, with US Census ACS housing age estimates placing only 10.1% of 80,371 housing units before 1980. The estimated median Sumter County structure is 21 years old. Newer stock lowers material risk in Sumter County, though joints, laterals, and manholes still take on infiltration and inflow.
