Radon in Felda Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Felda Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s water supply. While most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in private wells and other local water sources. In Felda, where many homes rely on private wells in inland Southwest Florida, everyday activities like showering, doing laundry, or running the dishwasher can release radon from water into the air — so homeowners often consider both water and air when addressing radon risks.

Radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, so you can’t detect it by sight or flavor. The only dependable way to know whether your household water contains radon is to test it, because levels can vary from well to well even within the same rural community. If your Felda property’s test shows elevated radon in the water, choosing treatment that matches your plumbing and daily water use is important; treating water at the point it enters the house gives protection to all faucets, showers and appliances.
