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: Haloacetic acids (HAA5), above the legal limit. 27 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2003 to 2024.
Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate, arsenic and uranium: New York’s yearly summaries per water system, 2020 to 2024, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from June 13, 2012 to March 14, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the legal limit2
Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
Forms or is added in treatment
83.3ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024
2024 average: 57.7 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 83.3 ppb, in 2023, above EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. Its highest single sample was 141 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, it averaged 57.7 ppb. EPA recorded violations for haloacetic acids (HAA5) at this utility in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
Forms or is added in treatment
76.6ppb
Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024
2024 average: 54.1 ppb
Averaged by year, the highest was 76.6 ppb, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. Its highest single sample was 122 ppb. In 2024, the latest year on file, it averaged 54.1 ppb. EPA judges this limit at each sampling point, and recorded violations for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) at this utility in 2020 and 2021. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 85.1 ppb, in 2018, and EPA recorded violations in 2014 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

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. Haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate, arsenic and uranium results here are New York’s own yearly summaries from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Florida Village’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; New York’s yearly summaries cover 2020 to 2024; EPA’s compliance samples are from June 13, 2012 to March 14, 2018.
