The short answer
Nothing in EPA’s and Florida’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What was found
Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 2.0 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 1, 2009. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5): Florida’s own results, samples taken from Feb. 17, 2020 to Nov. 19, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) results here are Florida’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Colonial Manor Water System’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.
