PFAS above EPA’s limits in Florida.

124 utilities serving 9.7 million people, as they report it, had a location averaging above a limit, most often PFOS (121) and PFOA (68). The largest is MDWASA - Main System, whose highest PFOS average was 31 ppt, 7.9 times the limit. The furthest above is Orangewood Water System, at 20 times the PFOS limit.

These are EPA’s survey results, not violations: the limits take effect April 26, 2029, and compliance will rest on each utility’s own monitoring. EPA has proposed changes to the rule; as of Oct. 13, 2026, none is final.
