Florida Water Quality (2026)

Hard water and disinfection byproducts are widespread; aquifer-fed utilities commonly test for elevated hardness and TTHM.

Our Florida coverage focuses on the 4 metros below: Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa. Each city page lists the utility's water source, hardness in grains per gallon, any contaminants flagged above EWG's stricter health guideline, and the whole-house system type that matches that specific profile, not a generic recommendation copied across the state.

If your Florida city is not in the list yet, the nearest covered metro is usually a reasonable proxy: regional source water and treatment plants are typically shared across nearby municipalities. Private wells in Florida are a different story and need a mail-in lab panel, the utility CCR will not apply.
