What's in SPRING HILL's tap water
Top water quality concerns identified by the EPA and Environmental Working Group across the utility serving SPRING HILL.
PFAS contamination

Moderate concernHaloacetic acids (HAA9) detected at 35.3 ppb, 588x above the EWG health guideline of 0.06 ppb.
Haloacetic acids (HAA5) significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernHaloacetic acids (HAA5) detected at 33.8 ppb, 338x above the EWG health guideline of 0.1 ppb.
Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) significantly above health guideline
Moderate concernTotal trihalomethanes (TTHMs) detected at 40.5 ppb, 270x above the EWG health guideline of 0.15 ppb.

Recommended filters for SPRING HILL
Filters matched to the specific contaminants in SPRING HILL's water supply.
Filter certified for PFOA/PFOS (NSF/ANSI 53 or 58)
$180-$750Reverse osmosis and some carbon block filters reduce PFAS. Look for certification to NSF/ANSI 53 or 58 for PFOA/PFOS.
Carbon filter certified for VOCs (NSF/ANSI 53)
$180-$599Activated carbon is effective for disinfection byproducts. Look for NSF/ANSI 53 VOC reduction.
