DDT in Century Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of DDT in the Water Supply of Century Florida Homes

DDT is a long-lived pesticide that can remain in the environment years after its use has stopped. Because it’s persistent, small amounts can enter water supplies through runoff or disturbed soils and sediments, and it often won’t change taste or smell so you can’t rely on your senses to detect it. If you live in Century and want to reduce potential exposure in your home’s water, a targeted filtration solution can help protect every tap.

Even when tap water appears clear in Century households, trace contaminants like DDT can still be present; it’s commonly grouped with long-lasting organic chemicals. DDT tends to bind to particles and natural organic matter, which influences how it travels in water and how best to treat it. The only way to be sure what's in your supply is testing—especially if your home uses a private source or you want extra assurance beyond basic treatment—and a whole-house system treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances.
