Martin County Utilities and Solid Waste Department — 2025 Report
| Parameter | What the Report Shows |
|---|---|
| Water Source | Blended groundwater: brackish Floridan Aquifer water treated by reverse osmosis, blended with surficial-aquifer water treated by deep-bed filtration. Jensen Beach is home to Martin County's North Water Treatment Plant (8.8 MGD). |
| Treatment Process | Reverse osmosis desalination of Floridan Aquifer water, blended with filtered surficial-aquifer water to restore alkalinity and hardness for a stable finished product, then chlorinated for disinfectant residual. |
| Disinfectant | Chloramines (2025 annual average 3.5 ppm; MRDL 4.0 ppm). |
| Hardness | Martin County's report states that blending RO-treated Floridan water with filtered surficial water “provides alkalinity and hardness and results in a stable finished product,” but no mg/L or GPG figure is published in the 2025 report. |
| PFAS / Unregulated Contaminants | Martin County Utilities' 2025 report states all samples were “below the minimum reporting level (MRL) for all unregulated contaminants monitored in 2025,” including PFAS compounds under UCMR5 — a non-detect result across the board. |

Jensen Beach Homes & Hardness
Jensen Beach mixes older riverfront cottages along Indian River Drive and the Manatee Pocket area with newer developments further inland toward Jensen Beach Boulevard. Coastal, older homes near the water see faster fixture wear from a combination of humidity and hardness scale than newer inland construction.
What Homeowners Ask Us Most in Jensen Beach
Because Jensen Beach sits right at Martin County's North Water Treatment Plant — blending RO-treated Floridan water with filtered surficial water — residents' concerns tend to center on chloramine taste rather than contamination; 2025 testing came back non-detect for all monitored unregulated contaminants, including PFAS, which is worth knowing if you've seen alarming national headlines.
Ion-exchange softening
The standard fix for calcium/magnesium hardness — resin swaps hardness minerals for sodium or potassium ions.
Salt-free conditioning
Crystallizes hardness minerals so they don't stick to pipes and fixtures, without adding sodium to your water.
Appliance & plumbing protection
Softening extends the working life of water heaters, dishwashers, and fixtures by preventing scale buildup.
Sized to your test, not a guess
Softener capacity is set from your actual hardness reading and household water usage.
