Chlordane in Mims Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Chlordane in the Water Supply of Mims Florida Homes

Chlordane is a persistent pesticide that can remain in soils and water long after it was applied, often used historically for termite control. Because it breaks down slowly, trace amounts can linger and become a concern for homeowners—especially in areas with older properties. If you live in Mims or elsewhere in Brevard County and have heard about chlordane locally, it makes sense to look into reliable options to protect your household water supply.

You generally can’t detect chlordane by smell, taste, or sight, so testing is the only way to know whether it’s present. It can occur alongside other organic pesticide residues, which behave similarly in water. Many Mims homeowners—including those on well water that can also show hardness, minerals, or iron and sulfur odors—choose to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet, shower and appliance receives filtered water rather than relying on a single under-sink unit.
