The short answer

3 results are above the health goal. The worst: Arsenic, above the health goal. 2 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2006 to 2024.

Arsenic, uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total): Florida’s own results, samples taken from Oct. 21, 2020 to Sept. 3, 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the health goal3

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

3.8ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024

2024 average: 1.4 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 3.8 ppb, in 2021: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 6.8 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, its two samples averaged 1.4 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 3.5 ppb, in 2018.

What handles it

Lead

Comes from pipes, often your own

Above the health goal

1.7ppb

90th percentile, 2024

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 1.7 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

What handles it

Above the health goal

0.2ppb

Highest yearly average, 2024

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.2 ppb, in 2024: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 0.41 ppb. That is the only year on file.

Highest sample; found in 8 of 8

2024 average: 1.5 ppm

The highest sample, in 2024, was 2.2 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That was also the latest year on file, and its two samples averaged 1.5 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 5.7 ppm, in 2012.

Below EPA’s limits

0.15ppm

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2024

2024 average: 0.14 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.15 ppm, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. Its highest single sample was 0.3 ppm. In 2024, the latest year on file, its six samples averaged 0.14 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.3 ppm, in 2015.

  • Chromium (total)

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: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction, Lead Reduction

    For: Arsenic, Lead

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

  • NSF/ANSI 58

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

    For: Arsenic, Lead, Uranium

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

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. Arsenic, uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total) results here are Florida’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Plantation Oaks Mh ; Rv Community’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 Oct. 21, 2020 to Sept. 3, 2024.

Testing your own tap
