Water Quality Snapshot: LANTANA WATER TREATMENT PLANT

LANTANA WATER TREATMENT PLANT is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 11,558 residents in LANTANA, Florida (Palm Beach County) through 3,374 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 49 total violations for this system , of which 4 (8%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 29 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2024.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Lead and Copper Rule, recorded in 14 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 9 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 0.0357 ppt. 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.
