Epichlorohydrin in Century Village Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Epichlorohydrin in the Water Supply of Century Village Florida Homes

Epichlorohydrin is an industrial chemical that can sometimes be present in drinking water at low concentrations, often linked to materials and processes used during treatment and distribution. Because it usually has no distinctive taste or smell, homeowners in Century Village and elsewhere often won’t notice it in their tap water. Many local residents prefer to limit potential chemical exposure where practical, especially in a humid subtropical climate where indoor water use is high; a whole‑house system treats water at every faucet rather than only at a single point like the kitchen sink.

Since epichlorohydrin is considered a health-related contaminant rather than an aesthetic issue, it’s reasonable to think about all the routine ways you contact water at home — from cooking and brushing teeth to washing dishes and showering. In Palm Beach County, where municipal water is commonly hard and can contribute to scale on fixtures and appliances, adding targeted whole‑house treatment gives you extra confidence without changing how your home operates. The objective is simple: deliver cleaner water throughout your Century Village home with a system sized for your household’s needs.
