cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in Cocoa West Florida Water

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

cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down and migrate into groundwater. Because it moves through subsurface water, the contaminant can travel beyond its original source and remain in water supplies for long periods. At the levels most homeowners encounter it’s not usually obvious by taste or smell, so testing is the only reliable way to detect it. Cocoa West residents who are concerned about VOCs should consider testing and, if results indicate elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, take steps to reduce exposure throughout the house.

Contamination isn’t limited to drinking water—water used for cooking, bathing and laundry can matter for family exposure too. For Cocoa West properties, where hard water and heavier mineral content are common in Brevard County supplies, treating water at the point it enters the home ensures every faucet and appliance sees the same protection. A whole-house solution also helps prevent contaminants from circulating through plumbing and appliances, reducing scale buildup and giving you consistent water quality across the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry.
