Separate Glades County notice confirms Lake Okeechobee algae toxins
DOH–Glades issued a September 10 health alert after harmful blue-green algae toxins were confirmed in a September 1 Lake Okeechobee sample. The notice does not identify the sampling station, toxin type or concentration, so it cannot be treated as a result for every part of the lake or matched to a named station. Separately, DOH–Palm Beach confirmed toxins at LZ40, L007 and L006 from September 2 samples; blue-green algae was also present at CLV10A and PALMOUT3, where the published notice said toxin testing was underway. Avoid drinking, swimming, wading, personal-watercraft use or contact where blooms are visible; keep pets and livestock away. Do not cook or clean dishes with affected lake water because boiling does not remove algae toxins. These are environmental-water alerts—not warnings about treated household tap water.
Lead action level exceeded in Okeechobee tap samples
Nine sampled homes exceeded the action level. School-site testing found no elevated levels of concern, but OUA’s household warning remains active.

Lead action level exceeded in Century tap samples
The Town says more than 10% of its August 16–17 household tap samples exceeded the 15 ppb lead action level. Reported exceedances included 18 ppb at a Fannie Road home and 22 ppb at a Clancey Way home. These results do not establish the lead level at every Century address. Use cold water for consumption, flush stagnant plumbing, clean aerators and use a properly certified lead-reduction filter if desired; boiling does not remove lead.
Laboratory errors left a past diquat monitoring gap
This is not a confirmed contamination finding. Three later quarterly samples—including two in 2026—reported no detectable diquat, and FGUA says there is no immediate risk.

Winter Haven says a business contacting residents about in-home contamination testing is not associated with the City Water Department. Verify unexpected claims directly with the City before allowing access or agreeing to service.
Toho Water Authority says one Bellalago distribution-system sample measured 0.14 mg/L orthophosphate, below the 0.7 mg/L minimum required by FDEP. Toho traced the low level to restricted circulation from several closed grid valves, reopened the valves and increased testing. The utility says orthophosphate levels have returned to normal and customers do not need to take action. This notice does not say that lead or copper was detected or exceeded an action level.

Deerfield Beach free-chlorination period reaches its scheduled end
Deerfield Beach's official notice said the annual free-chlorination period would run from September 3 through September 23. The City has not posted a separate completion notice, so this update records the end of the announced schedule without claiming a formal all-clear. During the maintenance period, the City said its water remained safe for drinking, cooking and bathing and that customers could notice temporary chlorine taste, odor, discoloration or reduced pressure. This was planned maintenance—not a contamination warning or boil-water notice. If an unusual condition continues, contact Deerfield Beach Environmental Services rather than assuming the temporary program is still active.
FGUA lifts the Interlachen and Park Manor boil-water notice
FGUA’s current outage listing says the precautionary notice affecting about 289 Interlachen Lakes Estates connections and the Park Manor interconnect is no longer in effect. Customers in that confirmed service area no longer need to boil water because of this notice. The rescission does not describe conditions elsewhere in Interlachen or Putnam County.

Toxins confirmed at two St. Johns River locations; Riverdale remains a caution
Florida DOH upgraded Fort Picolata and Colee Cove from blue-green algae cautions to health alerts after September 1 samples confirmed harmful algae toxins. The two notices do not publish the toxin type or concentration. Riverdale Boat Ramp remains separately listed as a September 3 caution based on observed blue-green algae; its notice says testing was underway, and DOH has not posted a toxin result for that location. At any visible bloom, do not drink, swim, wade, use personal watercraft or contact the water. Keep pets and livestock away, and do not cook or clean dishes with affected water because boiling does not remove algae toxins. These notices concern St. Johns River surface water—not treated household tap water.
Florida DOH confirms harmful algae toxins in Lake Howell
DOH–Seminole issued a health alert after harmful blue-green algae toxins were confirmed in a September 9 Lake Howell sample. The notice does not identify the sampling station, toxin type or concentration, so it should not be expanded beyond Lake Howell. Do not drink, swim, wade, use personal watercraft or contact water where a bloom is visible. Keep pets and livestock away, and do not cook or clean dishes with affected lake water because boiling does not remove algae toxins. This concerns environmental lake water—not treated household tap water.
Bacteria advisory issued for Dog Beach at Virginia Key
DOH–Miami-Dade says tests completed September 11 at Dog Beach, on the south side of Virginia Key Beach, did not meet Florida's recreational-water criterion for Enterococcus bacteria. Avoid swimming and other water-related activities at this location until follow-up results meet the accepted health level and the Department lifts the advisory. The notice does not publish the bacteria concentration. This advisory applies only to the named Dog Beach location—not every Virginia Key or Miami-Dade beach—and concerns recreational water, not treated household tap water.
Bacteria advisory issued for Bark Beach in Miami Beach
DOH–Miami-Dade says a September 10 sample at Bark Beach, 79th Street, did not meet Florida's recreational-water criterion for Enterococcus bacteria. Avoid swimming and other water-related activities at this location until follow-up results meet the accepted health level and the Department lifts the advisory. The notice does not publish the bacteria concentration. This advisory applies to Bark Beach—not every Miami Beach location—and concerns recreational water, not treated household tap water.
Bacteria advisory issued for Bahia Beach in Ruskin
DOH–Hillsborough says a September 9 sample at Bahia Beach, 2513 West Shell Point Road in Ruskin, exceeded Florida's recreational-water standard for Enterococcus bacteria. Avoid swimming and other water-related activities at this location until follow-up results meet the accepted health level and the Department lifts the advisory. The notice does not publish the bacteria concentration. This advisory applies only to Bahia Beach—not every Ruskin or Hillsborough County waterway—and concerns recreational water, not treated household tap water.
Bacteria advisory remains listed at two Martin County locations
DOH–Martin says Enterococcus bacteria results did not meet the state recreational-water criterion at Charlie Leighton Park and the Roosevelt Bridge. Avoid water-related activities at those two locations until the Department publishes acceptable follow-up results. The advisory does not apply to all Martin County waterways and is not a warning about treated household tap water. The exact bacteria measurements and a rescission date have not been published.
DOH–Miami-Dade says September 2 follow-up testing found an acceptable Enterococcus bacteria level at Crandon Park North. The public-health advisory has been lifted. This update concerns beach recreation—not treated household tap water.
DOH–Palm Beach lifted the DuBois Lagoon advisory after September 2 follow-up testing showed an acceptable Enterococcus bacteria level under state guidelines. The advisory concerned swimming and lagoon water—not treated household tap water.
