Bisphenol A (BPA) in Pace Florida Water

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

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made chemical used in some plastics and resins that can sometimes make its way into water in very small amounts. Many people know BPA from food packaging, but similar contact between plastic materials and water during production, storage, or distribution can also lead to trace amounts in tap water. You usually won’t notice BPA by taste, smell, or clarity, which is why many Pace homeowners choose to reduce it where practical — especially in water used for drinking and cooking.

Experts often call BPA an “emerging” contaminant because it can occur at low concentrations that basic sediment filters may not remove. It can enter water through contact with certain plastics, liners, or coatings, or from broader environmental pathways affecting source water. Swapping kitchen items for BPA-free versions helps, but that doesn’t treat every tap in your house. A whole-house filtration strategy in Pace helps provide consistent quality for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry across the entire home.
