City of Stuart Water Treatment Facility — 2025 Report
| Parameter | What the Report Shows |
|---|---|
| Water Source | Groundwater from the Surficial Aquifer (23 production wells) plus one Floridan Aquifer well. |
| Treatment Process | PFAS removal, lime softening, filtration, reverse osmosis, and disinfection (6.0 MGD plant capacity). |
| Disinfectant | Chloramines (2025 annual average 3.1 ppm; MRDL 4.0 ppm). |
| Hardness | Stuart's Consumer Confidence Report states treatment “reduces hardness” as part of the lime-softening process, but does not publish a specific mg/L or grains-per-gallon figure. |
| PFAS / Unregulated Contaminants | In October 2023, EPA UCMR5 testing detected short-chain PFAS (currently unregulated, no EPA MCL) in two City wells; both were immediately taken offline and are no longer used to supply drinking water. The City approved a $300,000 pilot program (installing 2026) to evaluate advanced treatment media. The 2025 CCR's unregulated-contaminant results (sampled April 2025) list only 6:2 FTS, PFBA, and PFPeA in trace amounts — PFOA and PFOS were not listed, indicating non-detect in that round. |

Stuart's Housing & Water Realities
Stuart's housing stock runs from historic downtown bungalows near the St. Lucie River to newer waterfront communities along the Intracoastal and canal-front neighborhoods built for boat access. Older homes closer to downtown often carry original galvanized or copper plumbing, which shows scale buildup faster than newer PEX systems.
What We See Most Often in Stuart
Because Stuart's supply blends surficial water with reverse-osmosis-treated Floridan water and the utility took two wells offline in 2023 over short-chain PFAS, homeowners here tend to ask us two things: whether their specific block was affected, and what the lime-softening process leaves behind in terms of hardness at the tap. Chloramine taste in showers is the most common day-to-day complaint.
