1,1-Dichloroethylene in Breezeswept Park Estates Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Breezeswept Park Estates Florida Homes

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals are present. Because it evaporates readily, it can move from water into the air in your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It’s usually not detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s in your supply. If testing shows elevated levels, many Breezeswept Park Estates homeowners choose to address the issue where water first enters the house.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present at very low concentrations and fluctuate over time even when water appears clear. For families in Breezeswept Park Estates, limiting exposure during everyday activities like cooking, bathing and brushing teeth is often a priority, not just treating one faucet. A whole-house solution delivers treated water throughout bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances so the same protection applies at every tap in the home.
