Overview

Town of Fort Myers Beach is a consecutive water system in Lee County, Florida. It does not treat its own water; it purchases finished, already-treated drinking water from a larger utility and delivers it to about 6,499 people.

Arsenic was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: skin damage; circulatory problems; may increase the risk of certain cancers.

Lead (tap, 90th pct) was detected in this system’s water. EPA states its health effects: in infants and children: delays in physical or mental development; in adults: kidney problems and high blood pressure.

Alpha emitters were detected in this system’s water. EPA states their health effects: may increase the risk of cancer.

EPA’s health goal for Arsenic, Lead (tap, 90th pct), and Alpha emitters is zero. There is no amount of them it considers safe to drink.

PFOS was detected, one of the forever chemicals that do not break down in the body or in the environment. EPA states the health effects: effects on cholesterol, the liver, the immune system, and thyroid; may increase the risk of certain cancers.

It serves Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Springs.

It disinfects with chloramine (free-chlorine flush May 1-21).

Not detected, or not looked for 96

PFAS · EPA UCMR5 monitoring

These were genuinely sampled, because EPA required it. Of 29 PFAS “forever chemicals” tested under the UCMR5 program, 1 were detected (shown above) and 28 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, 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:

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.
