The ZIP code it serves
The short answer
2 results are above EPA’s legal limit, and 1 more is above the health goal. The worst: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), above the legal limit. 18 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2000 to 2021.
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), chromium (total), nitrate, arsenic and fluoride: Florida’s own results, samples taken from March 31, 2020 to Dec. 11, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Above the legal limit2
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
128ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024
2024 average: 94.7 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 128 ppb, in 2022, above EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 140 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 94.7 ppb, above the limit. EPA recorded violations for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) at this utility in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 169 ppb, in 2015, and EPA recorded violations in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

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, Lead Reduction
For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Lead
Other certifiers’ wording: VOC Reduction
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claims: Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction, Lead Reduction
For: Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Lead
At the tap, or for the whole house?
Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), chromium (total), nitrate, arsenic and fluoride results here are Florida’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Cypress MHP’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 March 31, 2020 to Dec. 11, 2024.
