Epichlorohydrin in Avon Park Lakes Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Epichlorohydrin in the Water Supply of Avon Park Lakes Florida Homes

Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can occasionally be present in drinking water at very low levels, often related to materials and processes used in treatment and delivery. It usually won’t change the taste, smell, or color of tap water, so Avon Park Lakes homeowners might not notice it without testing. Many families still choose to reduce potential chemical exposure where practical, especially for water used every day. A whole-house system treats water at every faucet — from the kitchen to the shower — instead of only at a single point of use.

Because epichlorohydrin is treated as a contaminant of health concern rather than an aesthetic issue, it makes sense to consider how you interact with water around the home. Cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes and bathing all increase contact with trace chemicals over time. In Avon Park Lakes and elsewhere in Highlands County, homeowners can add targeted whole-house treatment that fits existing plumbing and daily routines. The aim is simple: deliver cleaner water throughout your home with a system properly sized for your household.
