— QUICK WATER SUMMARY

What your water provider reported.

Fort Lauderdale draws from the Biscayne Aquifer and treated the 2025 supply through the Fiveash lime-softening plant and Peele-Dixie nanofiltration membrane plant. The official report states that fluoride addition ended before July 2025 and that chloramines are used for disinfection.

Start with the simple list below. Open See details to see whether the comparison is a legal limit, a health benchmark or another value used in the official report.

UTILITY REPORTDescribes the public system

Useful for source water, treatment and provider-wide monitoring.

PROPERTY TESTMeasures one address

Needed when the concern involves a building, service line, private well or exact tap.

IMPORTANTOne does not replace the other

A compliant utility report cannot rule out a plumbing issue inside one property.

Hardness and TDS can vary from street to street.

A provider report cannot tell us the exact levels at your tap. We need to test your home to give you an accurate measurement.

*Provider reports describe the public distribution system—not the water at a specific home. Actual results vary by service address, plumbing, seasonal utility conditions and system configuration. A softener does not necessarily reduce TDS. Address-specific testing is required before treatment is recommended.
