The short answer

1 result is above EPA’s legal limit, 1 more is above the limit’s level with no violation recorded, and 2 more are above the health goal. The worst: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), above the legal limit. 2 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), arsenic, nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total): Florida’s own results, samples taken from April 22, 2020 to Aug. 12, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Uranium: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Oct. 29, 2018 to Oct. 29, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the legal limit1

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

Above the legal limit

391ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024

2024, one sample: 14 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 391 ppb, in 2021, about 4.9 times EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 14 ppb. EPA recorded a violation for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) at this utility in 2021. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 2.3 ppb, in 2015.

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Above the limit’s level, no violation

77.6ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024

2024, one sample: 13.3 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 77.6 ppb, in 2021, above EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 13.3 ppb. EPA judges this limit on running averages at each sampling point, and recorded no violation for haloacetic acids (HAA5) at this utility since 2020. Results like these with no violation often include water sampled before treatment or blending; the utility’s annual report says what reaches the tap. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 12 ppb, in 2015.

  • Lead

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

    Claims: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: VOC Reduction; Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Uranium

    For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Arsenic, Uranium

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)

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), arsenic, nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total) results here are Florida’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium comes from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Cannon Creek MHP’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and 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 April 22, 2020 to Aug. 12, 2024; EPA’s compliance samples are from Oct. 29, 2018 to Oct. 29, 2018.

Testing your own tap

Cannon Creek MHP’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.
