Radon in Century Village Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home’s water supply. Though people often think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water and, less commonly, other sources — and everyday activities like showering, laundry, or dishwashing can release radon from water into the air. Century Village homeowners often check both water and indoor air when addressing radon because treating both pathways gives better protection for families and living spaces in Palm Beach County.

Radon in water has no taste, odor, or color, so you won’t notice it by looking at or tasting a glass. The only reliable way to know your levels is to test, since radon concentrations can differ block to block and between neighboring properties. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, consider solutions that suit your home’s plumbing and daily water use. In Century Village and surrounding communities in the Miami metropolitan area, a whole-house strategy treats water at the point it enters the residence, protecting every faucet and appliance rather than just one tap.
