Town of Jupiter Utilities Department — 2024 Report
| Parameter | What the Report Shows |
|---|---|
| Water Source | Groundwater from 63 Town-owned wells: 51 shallow surficial aquifer wells (~150 ft) and 12 deep, brackish Floridan Aquifer wells (1,500+ ft). The Town produced 5.8 billion gallons in 2024 for roughly 94,600 customers. |
| Treatment Process | Nanofiltration (NF) treats the surficial aquifer supply; reverse osmosis (RO) treats the brackish Floridan aquifer water. No lime softening is used — treatment is entirely membrane-based. |
| Disinfectant | Chloramines (2024 running annual average 3.37 ppm; range 0.6–4.3 ppm; MRDL 4 ppm). |
| Hardness | The Town's 2024 Annual Water Quality Report does not publish a hardness figure in mg/L or GPG — hardness isn't a regulated contaminant and the Town's official report contains no value for it. (Unofficial third-party estimator sites show conflicting figures from roughly 9.8 to 19+ GPG for the area — none traceable to an official source, so none are used here.) |
| PFAS / Unregulated Contaminants | The 2024 report confirms Jupiter Utilities participated in 2023 UCMR5 testing but does not publish specific compound names or detection levels in the report itself — customers are directed to call the Utilities Department (561-741-2735) directly for the actual results. |

Jupiter Homes & Hardness
Jupiter spans everything from historic riverfront cottages near the lighthouse and Intracoastal to newer gated communities west of I-95 and the Abacoa area — one of the widest ranges of plumbing age and lot type in our primary service cluster, all drawing on the same Town-wide well network.
What Homeowners Ask Us Most in Jupiter
Because Jupiter treats 100% of its supply through nanofiltration or reverse osmosis rather than lime softening, and because the Town's own report doesn't publish a hardness number, the most common thing we clarify for Jupiter homeowners is that low-to-moderate hardness is plausible given the membrane treatment — but the only way to know for certain is a test at your own tap, not a number pulled from a third-party estimator site.
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.
