Vanadium in Clewiston Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Vanadium in the Water Supply of Clewiston Florida Homes

Vanadium is a metal that occurs naturally in rocks and soils and can make its way into drinking water as minerals dissolve. At home you usually won't see, taste, or smell vanadium, so the only reliable way to know if it's present in Clewiston water is a lab test—either from a private well sample or from your utility water quality report. If testing shows elevated levels, treating for metals is a sensible next step to protect plumbing, appliances and household use in our Hendry County area.

Because vanadium is connected to groundwater chemistry, concentrations can change from one well to the next and from neighborhood to neighborhood around Clewiston and nearby Montura Ranch Estates. It often occurs along with other dissolved minerals common to our hard groundwater, so clear-looking water can still contain dissolved metals. The objective is steady reduction so families have dependable water for drinking, cooking, bathing and everyday chores throughout the Lake Okeechobee region.
