The short answer
1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total) and nitrate: Florida’s own results, samples taken from March 25, 2020 to May 3, 2022, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Uranium: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Dec. 12, 2018 to July 10, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the health goal1
Uranium
Comes from the source
0.1ppb
Highest yearly average, 2018 to 2019
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.1 ppb, in 2019: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 0.21 ppb. That was also the latest year on file.
What handles it

Below EPA’s limits3
Fluoride
Forms or is added in treatment
0.71ppm
Highest yearly average, 2021
Averaged by year, the highest was 0.71 ppm, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.67 ppm, in 2018.

- Lead
- Nitrate
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 58
Claim: Uranium
For: Uranium
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.
Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing
None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, 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. Ruskin Mobile Home 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.
