1,1-Dichloroethylene in Ocean Breeze Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Ocean Breeze Park Florida Homes

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when industrial solvents or related chemicals contaminate sources. Because it readily evaporates, it can move from water into indoor air during showers, laundry and dishwashing, so it can affect more than just what you drink. It often has no noticeable taste, smell or color, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. If testing shows elevated levels, many Ocean Breeze Park homeowners choose to address the issue where water first enters the house.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene can be present in very small, changing amounts even when water looks clear. For families in Palm Beach County who want to reduce exposure during everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth, bathing—a whole-house solution ensures treated water is delivered to every bathroom, the kitchen and appliances. This single-system approach is convenient for South Florida homes that prefer one consistent treatment for the whole household.
