The short answer
1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, chromium (total) and nitrate: Florida’s own results, samples taken from Feb. 18, 2020 to July 23, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Uranium: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the health goal1
Arsenic
Comes from the source
0.9ppb
Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024
2024, one sample: 0.3 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.9 ppb, in 2021: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.3 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 1.3 ppb, in 2018.
What handles it

Below EPA’s limits3
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
40.3ppb
Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024
Averaged by year, the highest was 40.3 ppb, in 2024, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 57.2 ppb, in 2018.

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
Forms or is added in treatment
21.9ppb
Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024
2024, one sample: 15.9 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 21.9 ppb, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 15.9 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 47.8 ppb, in 2015.

Fluoride
Forms or is added in treatment
0.077ppm
Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024
2024: not found
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.077 ppm, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2024, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in any of its two samples. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.16 ppm, in 2012.

- Uranium
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: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Arsenic
Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claim: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction
For: Arsenic
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. Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, chromium (total) and nitrate 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. Inverness Park’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 Feb. 18, 2020 to July 23, 2024; EPA’s compliance samples are from April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2018.
