The short answer for Dover

Dover tap water has 4 contaminants above EPA guidelines, including PFOS at 3.7× the limit (tested June 2025). See the full compound-by-compound breakdown and filter recommendations.

The health risk for Dover

PFAS ('forever chemicals') have been detected above EPA limits in this water system's most recent tests. These synthetic chemicals do not break down in the body and are linked to a range of health effects. A certified filter is strongly recommended.
  • PFBS, PFOS, PFPeA above limit.

Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 33527 Tap Water

What contaminants are above EPA limits in ZIP 33527?

ZIP 33527 has 4 contaminants above EPA health guidelines in the latest available data, including PFOS at 3.7x the EPA guideline. The full table on this page lists every tested compound and its measured level.

Will boiling ZIP 33527 tap water remove PFOS?

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 PFOS?

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 33527?

Public records identify SAN JOSE MISSION as a primary water system associated with ZIP 33527. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.

When was ZIP 33527 tap water last tested?

The most recent test date used in this report is June 2025. EnviroClarity last refreshed this page on 2026-05-05.
