— QUICK WATER SUMMARY

What your water provider reported.

Tallahassee draws groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer. The City’s current public information reports hard water, an average pH near neutral and an elevated PFOS result at the Woodville source well. The City says it adjusted system flows so water delivered at the tap continues to meet current drinking-water standards. A source-well result is not the same as a result from every Tallahassee faucet.

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.

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.
