Bisphenol A (BPA) in Holden Lakes Florida Water

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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made chemical used in some plastics and resins that can occasionally make its way into water supplies in very small quantities. While most people hear about BPA in food containers, it can also enter water when plastic materials contact water during production, storage or distribution. Because BPA is typically present only as a trace contaminant, you likely wouldn’t detect it by taste, smell or appearance. Many Holden Lakes homeowners choose to reduce BPA exposure when practical, including through treated tap water.

BPA is often labeled an “emerging” contaminant because it may occur at low concentrations that basic sediment filters don’t address. It can enter plumbing from certain plastics, liners or coatings, or from broader pathways that affect source waters — important to consider in Central Florida, where much of the region draws groundwater from the Floridan aquifer and mineral content can vary. Swapping to BPA-free kitchen products helps, but that won’t treat the water flowing to every faucet. A whole-house solution gives consistent treated water for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry throughout your Holden Lakes home.
