Questions
Does Florida tap water have PFAS?
EPA tested 394 community water systems in Florida for 29 PFAS between 2023 and 2025. 168 had at least one regulated PFAS detected, and 124 had an entry-point average above a 2024 federal limit. Those 124 systems serve about 9.7 million people (44% of people on community water in Florida). Systems have until 2029 to meet the limits.
How many Florida water systems have violations?
203 systems in Florida had at least one health-based violation since 2016 (1,139 violations in total). 1,153 violations are currently listed as unaddressed.
Which Florida water systems are over the lead action level?
4 systems had a lead 90th percentile above the 15 ppb action level in their most recent results from the last five years. Another 23 systems have no lead results in EPA's database from the last five years. Lead depends on each home's pipes, so a test of your own tap is the only way to know your level.
