The short answer for Taylor Creek
Taylor Creek tap water has 15 detected contaminants, currently below EPA limits (tested February 2023). Lead measured closest to the threshold. See the full compound-by-compound report.
The health risk for Taylor Creek
Lead was detected in local water tests, currently below EPA limits. Even below-limit detections can still be meaningful for sensitive households, so a targeted certified filter can add protection.
- PFAS or other chemicals detected; no confirmed exceedances in multiple samples.

Add a Layer of Protection for Taylor Creek Tap Water
Lead was detected below EPA limits. A certified filter can still add an extra layer of protection.
Pitcher filter
Epic Pure XP Water Filter Pitcher
NSF-certified dual-layer filtration reduces 70+ contaminants including PFAS, lead, chlorine, microplastics, and bacteria.
NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 & P473Removes 99.99% PFASMade in USABPA-free
PFAS detected in 34974 · What you can do
Here's what actually removes PFAS from your water
The right filter eliminates PFAS at the tap. But not all filters do - and the type you choose matters for your home.
Common pitchers like Brita do not remove PFAS. You need a filter independently certified to NSF P473 (for pitcher filters) or NSF/ANSI 58 (for reverse osmosis systems). All three options below carry the relevant certification.
Certified PFAS filter types - how they differ
Certified Pitcher
Removes PFAS (99%+)
No installation, works today
Lowest upfront cost (~$70)
Must refill manually
Filters only what you pour in - not cooking water
Reverse Osmosis More complete
Removes PFAS + lead, arsenic, nitrates & more
Always-on - no refilling ever
Noticeably better tasting water
Filters drinking & cooking water automatically
Higher upfront cost ($200-$400)

Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 34974 Tap Water
What's in ZIP 34974 tap water?
ZIP 34974 has 15 detected contaminants below EPA limits in this dataset. Lead measured closest to its guideline.
Will boiling ZIP 34974 tap water remove Lead?
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 34974, a certified filter is more reliable.
Do basic pitcher filters remove Lead?
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 34974?
Public records identify OKEECHOBEE UTILITY AUTHORITY as a primary water system associated with ZIP 34974. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.
When was ZIP 34974 tap water last tested?
The most recent test date used in this report is October 2023. EnviroClarity last refreshed this page on 2026-05-05.
Where can I find the official water quality report for ZIP 34974?
Every U.S. public water system is required to publish an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). Contact OKEECHOBEE UTILITY AUTHORITY or visit their website for the latest official report covering ZIP 34974. The EPA also maintains a national CCR locator.
