Contaminants Detected

Not detected, or not looked for 100

PFAS · EPA UCMR5 monitoring

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:

How this plant treats the water

FDEP records 3 treatment processes here, under 2 headings.

disinfectionaeration
taste and odourpH adjustment and packed tower aeration

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.

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.
