Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 33825 Tap Water

What contaminants are above EPA limits in ZIP 33825?

ZIP 33825 has 2 contaminants above EPA health guidelines in the latest available data, including PFOA at 1.4x the EPA guideline. The full table on this page lists every tested compound and its measured level.

Will boiling ZIP 33825 tap water remove PFOA?

No. Boiling does not remove PFAS, and the compounds can actually become more concentrated as water evaporates. To reduce PFAS at home, use a filter independently certified to NSF/ANSI P473 (activated-carbon pitcher or under-sink) or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis).

Do basic pitcher filters remove PFOA?

Most basic pitcher filters are only certified to NSF/ANSI 42 or 53, which do not cover PFAS. Look for a filter independently certified to NSF/ANSI P473 (activated-carbon pitcher or under-sink) or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis) on the spec sheet.

Who provides tap water in ZIP 33825?

Public records identify AVON PARK, CITY OF as a primary water system associated with ZIP 33825. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.

When was ZIP 33825 tap water last tested?

The most recent test date used in this report is July 2023. EnviroClarity last refreshed this page on 2026-05-05.
