Not detected, or not looked for 64
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:
How this system treats the water
FDEP records 2 treatment plants for this system, and they are not equipped the same. Only disinfection happens at both. A step recorded at some plants treats some of what this system produces, not all of it.
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. FDEP counts plants separately even where they stand on one site and run at the same time, and their output mixes in the distribution system. A count here says how many of this system’s plants include a step, not which homes receive it.
What happened when this system broke the rules
Measurements are only half the record. These are Lakemont Ridge Home & RV Park’s violations of the drinking-water rules as recorded by EPA, 2024 to 2025, and what followed them.
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
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.
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.
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.
Data Sources
These figures describe the water your utility delivers, drawn from public federal and state records - not our own lab samples, and not what your home’s plumbing adds after the water arrives. Informational; not a substitute for testing your own tap.
