Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) — Eastern Region — 2024 Report
| Parameter | What the Report Shows |
|---|---|
| Water Source | The Village of Royal Palm Beach has no utility of its own — it's served by PBCWUD's Eastern Region, drawing from the Biscayne Aquifer at approximately 150 feet, treated at one of four Eastern Region plants. |
| Treatment Process | PBCWUD's Eastern Region uses a mix of lime softening with ion exchange, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis depending on plant, followed by filtration. The CCR doesn't map a single method specifically to Royal Palm Beach's block of the system. |
| Disinfectant | Chloramine (chlorine + ammonia) plus fluoride, with a semiannual switch to straight chlorine to flush the system (2024 level 3.09 ppm; MRDL 4 ppm). |
| Hardness | PBCWUD's 2023 and 2024 CCRs do not report a hardness figure in mg/L or GPG anywhere in the document — hardness isn't an EPA-regulated disclosure item and PBCWUD doesn't volunteer it. |
| PFAS / Unregulated Contaminants | November 2024 UCMR5 testing for the Eastern Region (which supplies Royal Palm Beach) detected PFOA at approximately 6.7 ppt and PFOS at approximately 13.5 ppt — both above the EPA's 4.0 ppt proposed MCL, though PBCWUD reported zero MCL/MRDL violations for 2024 (compliance timelines extend to 2029). |

Royal Palm Beach Homes & Hardness
Royal Palm Beach's housing stock is largely 1980s-through-2000s single-family and townhome development centered around Southern Boulevard and Crestwood Boulevard, with the Village's own municipal water service shared across PBCWUD's broader Eastern Region rather than a dedicated local plant.
What Homeowners Ask Us Most in Royal Palm Beach
Because Royal Palm Beach shares PBCWUD's Eastern Region system with several other communities rather than having a plant of its own, the PFAS figures we cite (both above the EPA's proposed 4.0 ppt limit) reflect the broader Eastern Region rather than a Royal Palm Beach-specific test — worth knowing if you're comparing notes with a Greenacres or Haverhill address on the same system.

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.
