What's in LITCHFIELD PARK's tap water
Top water quality concerns identified by the EPA and Environmental Working Group across the utility serving LITCHFIELD PARK.
PFAS contamination
Severe concernPerfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) detected. PFAS are persistent chemicals linked to cancer and immune effects with no known safe exposure threshold.
Perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHXS) significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernPerfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHXS) detected at 6.93 ppt, 6929x above the EWG health guideline of 0.001 ppt.
Arsenic significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernArsenic detected at 6.09 ppb, 1522x above the EWG health guideline of 0.004 ppb.
Chromium (hexavalent) significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernChromium (hexavalent) detected at 9.83 ppb, 491x above the EWG health guideline of 0.02 ppb.
Recommended filters for LITCHFIELD PARK
Filters matched to the specific contaminants in LITCHFIELD PARK's water supply.
Reverse Osmosis or NSF P473 certified carbon
$80-$750Activated carbon and RO are the only technologies proven to remove PFAS at certified levels.
Reverse Osmosis
$249-$750Arsenic is most effectively removed by reverse osmosis. Some specialized adsorptive filters also work.
