Below are data files collected for microbiological contaminant monitoring under the Safe Drinking Water Act. See data dictionary for field descriptions.
All public water systems are required to periodically test the water served to the public for contamination. The different types of contaminants are divided into groups. Below is a list of each contaminant group. Click on any link to see a list of contaminants as well as Florida state standards.
This group of contaminants includes pesticides, PCB and dioxin. Following is a brief description of the volatile organic contaminates regulated in Florida.
Note: Listed in the MCL column is the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) or standard for that contaminant.
