FAQ
Additional Information On Palm Harbor, Florida Tap Water
Is Palm Harbor’s tap water safe to drink?
Palm Harbor’s tap water, supplied by Pinellas County Utilities, contains trace levels of contaminants like arsenic, disinfection byproducts (TTHMs and HAA5), and fluoride, all within legal limits but associated with potential long-term health risks. The water also includes detectable levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are persistent chemicals linked to various health concerns. While these contaminants are typically below federal limits, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has raised alarms about their potential cumulative effects on health. Residents seeking to reduce exposure may consider filtration options like reverse osmosis or activated carbon.
Is Palm Harbor tap water hard?
The water in Palm Harbor, Florida is considered moderately hard to hard, with an average hardness of 170–255 parts per million (ppm) or 10 to 15 grains per gallon (gpg). This is due to the high mineral content, primarily calcium and magnesium, found in the groundwater sourced from the Floridan Aquifer.
Is there PFAS in Palm Harbor tap water?
Recent sampling for Palm Harbor water detected the presence of PFAS chemicals. The EPA is in the process of setting new MCL (maximum contaminant levels), which range from 4 to 10 parts per trillion. In numbers, that would be 0.00000000004 for PFOA and PFOS, individually to 0.0000000001 for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA (GenX Chemicals). As you can see in the water quality report, many samples do not meet these standards. Click here to learn more about our whole-house PFAS filtration systems.
Does Palm Harbor tap water have fluoride?
Yes, fluoride adds fluoride to its water supply to help prevent tooth decay. The most recent water quality report showed a level of .8. The EPA maximum contaminant level is 4 ppm.
Where does Palm Harbor get its tap water?
Palm Harbor, Florida, receives its tap water from Pinellas County Utilities, which sources its water from Tampa Bay Water, the regional water supplier. Tampa Bay Water’s supply system blends water from multiple sources, including the Floridan Aquifer, Alafia River, Hillsborough River, C.W. Bill Young Reservoir, and the Tampa Bypass Canal. This diversified approach aims to ensure a reliable and sustainable drinking water supply for the region.
Do I need a water softener or filter?
Due to the reported hardness of the water, installing a water softener can be beneficial in preventing scale buildup and improving the efficiency of household appliances. Additionally, a water filter can enhance taste and remove potential contaminants, ensuring better water quality for consumption.
