1,1-Dichloroethylene in Normandy Shores Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Normandy Shores 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 readily evaporates, it can move from water into the air you breathe during showers, laundry and dishwashing—so the concern isn’t only what you drink. It typically can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, which is why testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s in your supply. If a test shows elevated levels, addressing the water where it enters your Normandy Shores home is a practical next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-Dichloroethylene are often present at very low concentrations that fluctuate over time, so clear water isn’t a guarantee of safety. Many families in the Miami-Dade area prefer to reduce exposure for daily activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not just at a single faucet. A whole-house system treats every bathroom, the kitchen and appliances uniformly, delivering the same treated water throughout your Normandy Shores residence and limiting the chance that VOCs will volatilize during routine use.
