cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in Indrio Florida Water

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

cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down, and it can travel away from the original source. Because it dissolves into water, this compound may persist in the environment and often won’t be obvious by smell or taste at common concentrations, so testing is the usual way to detect it. If your Indrio household water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it makes sense to consider steps to lower exposure across the whole home.

Water you use for cooking, bathing and laundry matters just as much as drinking water when protecting your family. In Indrio and nearby neighborhoods on the Treasure Coast, treating water at the point it enters your house ensures every faucet, shower and appliance gets the same protection from VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. A whole-house strategy also helps prevent contaminants from circulating through plumbing or building up on fixtures and appliances, which is useful in our area where hard water can contribute to scale and wear.
