Bisphenol A (BPA) in Bratt Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in the Water Supply of Bratt Florida Homes

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical used in some plastics and resins that can sometimes make its way into water in very small amounts. People usually hear about BPA in food containers, but it can also enter water when plastics or coatings contact water during manufacturing, storage, or distribution. Because BPA is a trace contaminant, you probably won’t notice changes in taste, odor, or clarity. Many Bratt homeowners choose to limit BPA exposure whenever practical, including in the water they use every day.

BPA is often called an “emerging” contaminant because it can appear at low concentrations and may not be removed by basic sediment or standard filtration. It can get into water through contact with certain plastics, liners, or coatings, or through environmental pathways affecting source waters. Choosing BPA-free kitchen products helps, but it doesn’t stop whatever comes through the tap. For residents of Bratt, a whole-house approach helps deliver more consistent water quality for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry across the entire home.
