Bacteria Risk

Annual Testing Needed above EWG guideline

Rural wells near agricultural land and septic systems require annual bacteria testing to ensure safety.

โš ๏ธ Legal โ‰  safe. Federal limits are set on economic feasibility, not purely health risk. EWG guidelines reflect a 1-in-1-million cancer risk threshold.

Private Well Water Concerns

Many Central Florida residents rely on private wells drawing from the Floridan Aquifer. These wells are unregulated โ€” your water quality is entirely your responsibility to test and treat.

๐Ÿ”ฉ Iron & Sulfur

The Floridan Aquifer is naturally high in iron and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor). Iron causes orange staining on fixtures, laundry, and landscaping.

๐Ÿ’Ž Extreme Hardness

Well water in Central Florida is among the hardest in the country โ€” often 20โ€“30+ grains per gallon. This destroys water heaters and appliances within years.

๐ŸŒพ Agricultural Nitrates

Fertilizer runoff from nearby farms and lawns can contaminate wells with nitrates, which are dangerous for infants and pregnant women.

๐Ÿฆ  Bacteria & Coliform

Private wells can be contaminated by septic systems, surface runoff, and wildlife. Annual testing is essential โ€” no county regulations apply.

โš—๏ธ pH Imbalance

Acidic well water corrodes copper pipes and plumbing, leaching metals into your drinking water and causing premature fixture failure.

โ˜ข๏ธ Naturally Occurring Radium

The Floridan Aquifer contains naturally occurring radioactive elements. Deep wells especially require testing for radium and uranium.

Recommended Treatment for Oak Hill

Oak Hill well water users benefit from an iron filter, water softener, sulfur treatment system, and under-sink RO for drinking water.
