The short answer

2 results are above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), above the legal limit. 13 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total), fluoride and uranium: Florida’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 6, 2020 to Oct. 21, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

78.6ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024

2024 average: 49.8 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 78.6 ppb, in 2022, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 193 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its six samples averaged 49.8 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded violations for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) at this utility in 2020 and 2025. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 94.2 ppb, in 2019.

Averaged by year, the highest was 45.3 ppb, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. Its highest single sample was 179 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its six samples averaged 42.7 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded violations for haloacetic acids (HAA5) at this utility in 2020, 2021, 2025 and 2026. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 64 ppb, in 2019.

What handles it

A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

  • NSF/ANSI 53

    Claim: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction

At the tap, or for the whole house?

These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, arsenic, chromium (total), fluoride and uranium results here are Florida’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Bentwood Subdivision’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has the contaminants this page does not show.

  • Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.

  • What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.

  • Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; Florida’s results run from Jan. 6, 2020 to Oct. 21, 2024.

Testing your own tap

Bentwood Subdivision’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab Florida certifies.
