Water Quality Snapshot: Deltona Water
Deltona Water is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 81,006 residents in Deltona, Florida (Volusia County) through 35,222 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 92 total violations for this system , of which 40 (43%) are health-based, meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 18 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2015.
The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is TTHM, recorded in 28 violations (MCL, health-based). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 8 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 10.8 ppt (parts per trillion). PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.
Across Florida, EPA tracks 5,093 public water systems serving 22,381,282 people, with 184,355 cumulative violations and 24,266 health-based violations on record. About 93% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 36.2 violations. Statewide, 218 of 402 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (54.2%).
Deltona Water's 92 violations sit above the Florida average.
All figures above are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR5 public data releases and are updated as EPA publishes new reporting cycles.
8 PFAS "forever chemicals" detected in testing under EPA's UCMR5 monitoring program.
