The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has identified several contaminants in Trinity water supply that exceed their health guidelines, based on data from 2014 to 2020. It’s important to note that EWG’s health guidelines are often more stringent than federal standards. Disinfection by-products such as HAA5 and TTHMs are present, with the highest reading of the latter exceeding 50 (the EPA max contaminant level is 80). Most concerning, Jasmine Well #7 had five positive samples of E.Coli and Total Coliform. on March 14, 2023. This poses a health risk, particularly for young children, elderly or those who are immunocompromised. Iron, which is a natural occurrence from soil leaching was also found in violation on the date of March 23, 2023, with the highest result of .351 exceeding the EPA MCL of .3. While not known to be a major health issue, iron is an aesthetic and taste issue that can cause water to taste unsavory and turn a different color, such as brown or yellow.

The most recent Trinity Water Quality Report showed no range for hard water, but anecdotal accounts have discussed the tap water as being moderately hard to very hard.

Recent sampling conducted at Trinity water treatment plants 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.

Yes, fluoride adds fluoride to its water supply to help prevent tooth decay. The most recent water quality report showed a level of .075. The EPA maximum contaminant level is 4 ppm.

Trinity, Florida, receives its tap water from Pasco County Utilities, which sources water from the Floridan Aquifer. This aquifer is a vast underground reservoir supplying groundwater to much of Florida. The extracted water is treated with chloramines—a combination of chlorine and ammonia—for disinfection purposes.

With high hardness levels in Trinity, it is advised for your home to have a water softener to save on appliance costs, better your clothing, improve your hair and skin, and other benefits. Learn more here.

Trinity water contains levels of TTHMs from chlorine or chloramine treatment, and is susceptible to e.coli, iron, and possibly other contaminants. While none of these are typically above the EPA maximum contaminant level, they could be harmful. Learn more here about under-sink reverse osmosis filtration systems, and click here to learn more about whole house filtration systems, which can be helpful with iron.
