1,1-Dichloroethylene in New Hope Florida Water

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

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals affect groundwater. Because it vaporizes readily, it can move from water into the air in your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing, potentially affecting both what you drink and what you breathe. It usually can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, so testing is the reliable way to know if it’s present. If testing shows elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your New Hope residence is a logical next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often found in very small, variable amounts even when tap water appears clear. Many New Hope families choose to reduce exposure for daily activities like cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing rather than treating only a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treatment to bathrooms, the kitchen, and appliances throughout the home, which is convenient for households across the community that want a single system to protect routine water uses.
