Overview

Jacksonville University is a public drinking-water system serving about 3,480 people in Duval County, Florida.

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: reproductive difficulties; liver problems; increased cancer risk.

HAA5 (Haloacetic Acids) was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: may increase the risk of cancer.

TTHM (Total Trihalomethanes) was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: may increase the risk of cancer; liver, kidney, or central nervous system effects.

EPA’s health goal for Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate is zero. There is no amount of it it considers safe to drink.

It serves Jacksonville.

It uses groundwater as its source.

Contaminants Detected

Not detected, or not looked for 99

PFAS · EPA UCMR5 monitoring

These were genuinely sampled, because EPA required it. Of 29 PFAS “forever chemicals” tested under the UCMR5 program, 0 were detected (shown above) and 29 were not:

11Cl-PF3OUdS, 4:2 FTS, 6:2 FTS, 8:2 FTS, 9Cl-PF3ONS, ADONA, HFPO-DA, NEtFOSAA, NFDHA, NMeFOSAA, PFBA, PFBS, PFDA, PFDoA, PFEESA, PFHpA, PFHpS, PFHxA, PFHxS, PFMBA, PFMPA, PFNA, PFOA, PFOS, PFPeA, PFPeS, PFTA, PFTrDA, PFUnA

Regulated contaminants · no result on record

Federally regulated contaminants with no reading on record for this system. A missing reading can mean the sample came back clean, or that nobody was required to take one. The published data does not say which, and smaller systems monitor many of these only once every few years:

1,1,1-Trichloroethane, 1,1,2-Trichloroethane, 1,1-Dichloroethylene, 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, 1,2-Dichloroethane, 1,2-Dichloropropane, 2,4,5-TP (Silvex), 2,4-D, Alachlor, Antimony, Arsenic, Asbestos, Atrazine, Barium, Benzene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Beryllium, Beta particle & photon emitters, Bromate, Cadmium, Carbofuran, Carbon tetrachloride, Chlordane, Chlorite, Chlorobenzene (monochlorobenzene), Chromium (total), Combined radium (Ra-226 & Ra-228), Cyanide, Dalapon, Di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate, Dibromochloropropane (DBCP), Dichloromethane (methylene chloride), Dinoseb, Dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), Diquat, Endothall, Endrin, Ethylbenzene, Ethylene dibromide (EDB), Fluoride, Glyphosate, Gross alpha particle activity, Heptachlor, Heptachlor epoxide, Hexachlorobenzene, Hexachlorocyclopentadiene, Lindane, Mercury (inorganic), Methoxychlor, Nickel, Nitrite, Oxamyl (Vydate), Pentachlorophenol, Picloram, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Selenium, Simazine, Styrene, Tetrachloroethylene, Thallium, Toluene, Toxaphene, Trichloroethylene, Uranium, Vinyl chloride, Xylenes (total), cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, o-Dichlorobenzene, p-Dichlorobenzene, trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene

How this plant treats the water

FDEP records 2 treatment processes here, under 2 headings.

disinfectiongaseous chlorination
taste and odouraeration

From FDEP’s treatment facility report, 2023. It lists what each plant is equipped to do, which is not the same as what any single process removes on a given day, and treatment happens before the water reaches your service line or your own plumbing.

What happened when this system broke the rules

Measurements are only half the record. These are Jacksonville University’s violations of the drinking-water rules as recorded by EPA, and what followed them.

0health-based violationsLimit or treatment failures, not paperwork.
0still openAll were closed out.
9enforcement actions8 informal, 1 formal.
0carried a penaltyNo fine was ever assessed.

A system in violation keeps operating, because cutting off a community’s water is not a remedy anyone wants. That is the point worth understanding: the enforcement record and the water are two different things, and only one of them appears in the annual report you are mailed.

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. Measured at your tap, not at the plant.

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.

Know when your water changes

We will email you when new readings, violations or health goals land for your system.

Or schedule a water consultation.
