Bisphenol A (BPA) in Century Florida Water

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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made chemical used in some plastics and resins that can occasionally show up in water in very small amounts. People usually hear about BPA in food packaging, but it can also migrate into water when certain plastic materials touch water during manufacturing, storage, or transport. Because BPA is typically a trace contaminant, you probably wouldn’t detect it by taste, smell, or appearance. Many Century homeowners choose to limit BPA exposure when they can, including by addressing what comes from their taps.

BPA is often described as an emerging contaminant because it can exist at low concentrations that basic sediment filters don’t always catch. It can enter water through contact with specific plastics, liners, or coatings, or via environmental routes that affect source supplies. Swapping to BPA-free kitchen goods helps, but that doesn’t treat the water throughout your house. In Century, a whole-house strategy gives consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry so the water you use every day is treated at every tap.
