— QUICK WATER SUMMARY

What your water provider reported.

Fort Myers draws brackish groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer and uses reverse osmosis, degasification, stabilization and chlorine disinfection. The City mailed required notices about lead-status-unknown service lines on January 30, 2026, after the December 31 deadline. That was a notification-timing violation—not a finding of lead contamination—and the report says customers may continue to drink the water.

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.
