The short answer for Pinecrest

Pinecrest tap water has 20 contaminants above EPA guidelines, including 6:2 FTS at 25.8× the limit (tested May 2024). See the full compound-by-compound breakdown and filter recommendations.

The health risk for Pinecrest

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 33156 Tap Water

What contaminants are above EPA limits in ZIP 33156?

ZIP 33156 has 20 contaminants above EPA health guidelines in the latest available data, including 6:2 FTS at 25.8x the EPA guideline. The full table on this page lists every tested compound and its measured level.

Will boiling ZIP 33156 tap water remove 6:2 FTS?

Boiling tap water can kill many pathogens, but it does not remove most chemical contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Several dissolved contaminants can even concentrate as water evaporates. For the chemical contaminants reported in ZIP 33156, a certified filter is more reliable.

Do basic pitcher filters remove 6:2 FTS?

Basic pitcher filters are typically rated for chlorine, taste, and odor (NSF/ANSI 42), not for the broader list of contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Match the certification (NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58, or P473) to the specific compounds listed in this report before assuming a filter helps.

Who provides tap water in ZIP 33156?

Public records identify MDWASA - MAIN SYSTEM as a primary water system associated with ZIP 33156. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.

When was ZIP 33156 tap water last tested?

The most recent test date used in this report is May 2024. EnviroClarity last refreshed this page on 2026-05-05.

Where can I find the official water quality report for ZIP 33156?

Every U.S. public water system is required to publish an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). Contact MDWASA - MAIN SYSTEM or visit their website for the latest official report covering ZIP 33156. The EPA also maintains a national CCR locator.
