The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 1.7 ppm, for the period ending June 1, 2019. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Uranium, nitrate, fluoride, arsenic, chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): Florida’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 15, 2020 to Nov. 19, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

What handles it

5 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium (total)
  • Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
  • Lead
  • Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

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.”

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.

Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing

None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Uranium, nitrate, fluoride, arsenic, chromium (total), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) results here are Florida’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Bishops Gate Property Company, LLC’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. 15, 2020 to Nov. 19, 2024.

Testing your own tap

Bishops Gate Property Company, LLC’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.
