1,1-Dichloroethylene in Naranja Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Naranja Florida Homes

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate nearby sources. Because it volatilizes readily, it can move from water into the air inside your home during showers, laundry, or dishwashing. It usually won’t change the look, taste, or smell of your water, so testing is the only reliable way to detect it. If a test shows elevated levels, addressing the water where it enters your Naranja house is a good next step for protecting your household.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often present at very low concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear water in the tap doesn’t guarantee they aren’t there. Many Miami-Dade families prefer reducing exposure for everyday uses—cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing—not just at a single faucet. Installing treatment at the point where water enters your Naranja home provides consistent, treated water to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances, which is especially helpful in our hot, humid climate and in homes dealing with hard water and potential scale buildup.
