cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in Century Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Century Florida Homes

cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down in the environment. Because it dissolves in water, it can move beyond the original source and remain in groundwater for long periods. At the concentrations homeowners typically encounter it usually has no distinct taste or smell, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. If your Century water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it’s wise to consider steps that reduce exposure throughout your house.

Contaminants in drinking water also affect cooking, bathing, and laundry, so treating only one faucet doesn’t fully address household exposure. For Century residences, treating water where it enters the home ensures every tap, shower and appliance receives the same protection. A whole-house solution keeps contaminants from cycling through plumbing and appliances and gives you consistent water quality for everyday uses rather than relying on point-of-use options.
