Hexachlorobenzene in Royal Poinciana Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Hexachlorobenzene in the Water Supply of Royal Poinciana Park Florida Homes

Hexachlorobenzene is a man-made chemical that can persist in the environment and sometimes moves into groundwater and surface water. Because it breaks down slowly, traces may remain long after its original use and usually cannot be seen or smelled, so testing is the only way to know if it’s present. In Royal Poinciana Park, treating water where it enters your house is the best way to reduce potential exposure for everyone using your tap water.

Even clear water can contain low levels of contaminants that matter over time. Hexachlorobenzene is hydrophobic and tends to cling to organic material instead of dissolving like common salts, which affects how it’s removed. For homeowners in the Miami-Dade area — where municipal water is typically hard and can cause mineral buildup — a targeted whole-house filtration approach provides consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry across every faucet in the home.
