Overview

City of Fort Myers is a public drinking-water system serving about 92,219 people in Lee County, Florida.

In its 2025 reporting, 11 contaminants were measured, and every one came in at or below the federal legal limit. The system also tested for 67 other regulated contaminants under the Safe Drinking Water Act, none of which were detected.

The parameters measured were TTHM (Total Trihalomethanes), HAA5 (Haloacetic Acids), Chlorine, Sodium, Fluoride, Gross Alpha, and 5 more. Sodium came closest to its legal limit, at 71% of it.

It serves Fort Myers, Buckingham, Cypress Lake, Estero, Fort Myers Shores, Gateway, and 11 other communities.

It uses Floridan Aquifer (brackish), reverse osmosis as its source, disinfected with chlorine.

2025 compliance note. Missed the Dec 31, 2025 deadline to notify customers with 'unknown' service-line material; notices mailed late on Jan 30, 2026. No contaminant exceedance. This is a monitoring/reporting violation - the utility could not confirm results for that period. It is not a detected contaminant exceedance.

The Solution

01

Get your water tested

We measure what is actually coming out of your taps - hardness, iron, pH, TDS, PFAS, and whatever your own plumbing adds - the things a utility report can never show.

02

See your real results

We walk you through exactly what is there and what it affects: your skin, your pipes, your appliances, and the taste. No scare tactics, no pressure.

03

Get recommendations

Based on your results, we recommend the treatment that fits your water - a softener, reverse osmosis, or whole-home filtration - and nothing you do not need.
