Paradise Park Condo. Assoc. is a public drinking-water system serving about 450 people in Charlotte County, Florida.
Arsenic was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: skin damage; circulatory problems; may increase the risk of certain cancers.
Tetrachloroethylene was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: liver problems and increased cancer risk.
Vinyl chloride was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: not a health concern at these levels. High chloride gives water a salty taste and can speed up corrosion of plumbing.
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:
FDEP records 2 treatment processes here, under 2 headings.
disinfectionhypochlorination
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 Paradise Park Condo. Assoc.’s violations of the drinking-water rules as recorded by EPA, 2023 to 2025, and what followed them.
7health-based violationsLimit or treatment failures, not paperwork.
7still openNo return-to-compliance date on record.
10enforcement actions10 informal, 0 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.
