FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Florida's water

Is Florida's tap water safe to drink?

Florida's water quality varies by city. The statewide average grade is C+ (68.9/100). 58% of cities scored an A or B, while 28% received a D or F. Check your specific city for detailed results.

Which Florida cities have the best water quality?

The top-rated cities are Raiford (A+), Destin (A+), Callahan (A+). These cities scored highest based on violation history, lead levels, PFAS contamination, and regulatory compliance.

Which Florida cities have the worst water quality?

The lowest-rated cities are New Port Richey (F), Tamarac (F), Palatka (F). We recommend residents in these areas consider water filtration and review their city's specific contaminant data.

How many Florida cities have PFAS in their water?

164 out of 388 cities tested positive for PFAS "forever chemicals" (42%). 122 cities exceed the 2024 EPA maximum contaminant levels. Reverse osmosis or activated carbon filters can help reduce PFAS exposure.

Do any Florida cities have dangerous lead levels?

1 city exceeds the EPA lead action level of 15 ppb. Lead contamination typically comes from aging pipes and lead service lines rather than the water source itself. An NSF 53-certified filter can effectively remove lead from tap water.
