Drinking Water Quality in Southwest Florida

Every year the EPA requires Florida community water systems to provide its customers with a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR).The CCR is intended to help residents make informed choices about the water they drink by disclosing what contaminants if any, are in their drinking water, and how these contaminants could affect their health.

If your drinking water comes from a private well, you are responsible for the safety of your water. The EPA recommends that well owners have their water tested annually. Contact your state to get a list of certified commercial laboratories that test drinking water.
