1,1,1-Trichloroethane in River Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1,1-Trichloroethane in the Water Supply of River Park Florida Homes

1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a synthetic solvent that can reach drinking water when industrial degreasers or similar chemicals migrate into groundwater. As a volatile organic compound (VOC), it can affect more than just drinking water — it’s in the water you use for cooking, bathing, and cleaning, too. Because it doesn’t always alter taste, smell, or appearance, homeowners in River Park and across Brevard County often rely on laboratory testing to know whether this contaminant is present in their supply.

When 1,1,1-Trichloroethane appears above recommended guidelines, many River Park homeowners choose whole-house treatment at the point where water enters the home. Treating the main line protects every tap and appliance—from the kitchen to the water heater—without changing daily routines. A well-designed system targets VOCs while maintaining steady pressure and flow, which is important in our hard-water area where scale can already stress fixtures and appliances.
