Water testing and analysis in Florida

FLORIDA C.A.R.E. PROJECT

Protecting Families By Raising Water Quality Standards

Our Mission
Collect the information. Assess the findings. Register the data. Educate the public.

Why It Matters
Water quality impacts neurological health, reproductive safety, and long-term cancer risk.

Florida Homes
Private wells are not federally regulated — homeowners are the first and last line of defense. City water, while pre-treated with chlorine, still contains harmful THMs, PFAS and HAAs.

Water Is Life

What's in Your Water?

Proximity to high-quality water is the most effective barrier against waterborne illness. Regular testing is the only way to detect invisible pathogens like E. coli or chemicals that cause long-term risks, including neurological disorders, reproductive harm, and cancer.

For homes with private wells, annual testing is critical because these sources are not regulated by federal or state agencies, making the homeowner the sole line of defense.

Florida Drinking Water Testing & Quality Education

Test Before You Drink

Legal does not always mean safe. Many people assume that if water meets government standards, it is fully protected. In reality, regulations often lag behind science and infrastructure.

Limited regulation: The EPA currently regulates roughly 90 contaminants, while more than 320 substances have been detected in U.S. tap water. Many legal limits are based on what is economically feasible for cities to treat—not what is safest for human health.

Regulation stops at the street: Even if water leaves the treatment plant in perfect condition, it must travel through miles of aging municipal pipes and your home’s plumbing. During that journey, lead and copper can leach into water that has already been “cleared” by the city.

Emerging contaminants move faster than enforcement: Compounds such as PFAS (“forever chemicals”) have been linked to cancer and other long-term health risks for years. Yet many federal compliance deadlines have been delayed until as late as 2031. Your family is drinking today’s water—not 2031’s standards.

Private wells are largely unregulated: Federal laws such as the Safe Drinking Water Act do not apply to private wells. If your home uses a well, there is no utility monitoring your water. You are your own water manager.

Secondary standards are not enforceable: Contaminants like iron, manganese, and sulfur— which cause staining, odors, and appliance damage—fall under non-enforceable guidelines. A municipality can legally deliver water that smells like eggs or ruins fixtures because no law requires filtration for aesthetics.

Bottom line: Compliance does not equal protection. The only way to know what your family is actually drinking is to test the water at the tap.

Water testing in Florida

Why Testing Matters

Florida water contains chlorine, hardness minerals, iron, sulfur, PFAS, microplastics and carcinogens. A professional water analysis identifies problems and solutions. We provide honest testing, clear results, and recommendations specific to your results.

Human body and water health

The Human Body Is 70% Water

The quality of the water you drink directly affects cellular health, organ function, and long-term wellness. Knowing what’s in your water isn’t optional — it’s foundational.

Water impacts far more than what you drink. It flows through your showers, appliances, plumbing, and into the bodies of the people you care about most.
