Seacoast Utility Authority — 2025 Report
| Parameter | What the Report Shows |
|---|---|
| Water Source | Groundwater from two sources: the surficial aquifer (75-200 ft, 38 wells) and the brackish Floridan Aquifer (1,500 ft, 6 wells), treated at the Hood Road Membrane Water Plant (30.5 MGD). |
| Treatment Process | Dual membrane treatment: nanofiltration (26.0 MGD) demineralizes the surficial aquifer supply, while low-pressure reverse osmosis (3.5 MGD) desalinates the brackish Floridan aquifer water. No fluoride is added — natural fluoride measured at 0.13 ppm. |
| Disinfectant | Chloramines (2025 level 3.7 ppm; range 3.6–3.8 ppm; MRDL 4 ppm). |
| Hardness | Seacoast's Annual Water Quality Report does not publish a total hardness figure — hardness isn't a regulated contaminant included in CCR testing tables. Because Seacoast treats 100% of its supply through nanofiltration/RO membrane processes, finished water hardness is expected to run low, but no specific number is published to confirm it. |
| PFAS / Unregulated Contaminants | January 2024 and July 2024 UCMR testing both came back Not Detected (ND) for PFAS (against a 4.0 ng/L reference value). The utility's report notes its RO and nanofiltration processes are expected to remove such contaminants from the water. |

North Palm Beach Homes & Hardness
North Palm Beach is a well-established, mostly built-out waterfront village along the Intracoastal, with a mix of 1950s–60s ranch homes on the water and newer construction along US-1 and Northlake Boulevard — enough plumbing-age variation that fixture wear can look different block to block even on identical utility water.
What Homeowners Ask Us Most in North Palm Beach
Because Seacoast treats its entire supply through nanofiltration or reverse osmosis membranes, homeowners here more often ask us about disinfectant taste (chloramine, run close to the 4 ppm ceiling at times) than about hardness or sediment — and the utility's own two 2024 PFAS test rounds came back non-detect, which is worth knowing given how much PFAS anxiety shows up in general water-quality searches.
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.
