ABOUT WATER QUALITY IN FLORIDA

Florida water quality varies significantly by city and water system. The EPA's UCMR5 monitoring program tested all systems serving 3,300+ people for 29 PFAS compounds between 2023 and 2025. In Florida, 10 of the 10 tracked cities returned results with active MCL violations — meaning detected PFAS levels exceed the EPA's legally enforceable maximum.
