Seminole Improvement District (distribution), purchasing treated water wholesale from Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) — 2024 Report
| Parameter | What the Report Shows |
|---|---|
| Water Source | Groundwater from wells approximately 150 feet deep into the Biscayne/surficial aquifer, part of PBCWUD's Eastern Region system. |
| Treatment Process | Treated by PBCWUD at one of its four Eastern Region drinking-water treatment plants, then distributed locally by Seminole Improvement District. Disinfected primarily with chloramines, with a twice-yearly system-wide switch to free chlorine to control biofilm. |
| Disinfectant | Chloramines (2024 annual average 3.09 ppm; MRDL 4.0 ppm), with a twice-yearly free-chlorine burn. |
| Hardness | Neither SID's nor PBCWUD's 2024 Consumer Confidence Report publishes a hardness figure in mg/L or GPG — hardness is not an EPA-regulated contaminant and both reports omit it entirely. |
| PFAS / Unregulated Contaminants | November 2024 UCMR5 testing (reported by PBCWUD, disclosed in SID's CCR) detected several PFAS compounds at low ppb/ppt trace levels, including PFOA (0.0067 µg/L) and PFOS (0.0135 µg/L) — unregulated at time of testing, with no MCL violation. |
