1,1-Dichloroethylene in Orsino Florida Water

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

1,1-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals enter the environment. Because it vaporizes readily, it can move from water into the air you breathe during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It often gives no taste, smell or visible sign in water, so testing — especially for Orsino homeowners on private wells near the St. Johns River basin — is the reliable way to know if it’s present. When testing shows elevated levels, treating the water at the point it enters your house is a prudent next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are measured in very small concentrations and can change over time, so clear-looking water isn’t always a guarantee of safety. Many families in and around Orsino choose to reduce exposure for everyday activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—not just for one faucet. A whole-house system delivers treated water to all bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances, offering a single, consistent solution that protects household routines across your home.
