Bisphenol A (BPA) in Century Village Florida Water

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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a manufactured chemical used in some plastics and resins that can sometimes show up in water at very low concentrations. While people often associate BPA with food packaging, tiny amounts can enter water when plastic materials contact water during manufacturing, storage or distribution. Because BPA is a trace contaminant, you’re unlikely to detect it by taste, smell or appearance—so many Century Village homeowners choose to limit exposure whenever practical, including by treating their tap water.

BPA is commonly called an “emerging” contaminant because it may be present at low levels that basic sediment filters don’t catch. It can get into water through contact with certain plastics, liners or coatings, or from broader environmental pathways that affect source water. Swapping kitchen items for BPA-free alternatives helps, but that doesn’t address water coming through every tap in your West Palm Beach-area home. A whole-house filter gives consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry across Century Village and nearby Palm Beach County neighborhoods.
