Is tap water in Kendale Lakes-Tamiami CCD (33185) safe to drink?
- Kendale Lakes-Tamiami CCD, FL
- Miami, FL
The short answer for Kendale Lakes-Tamiami CCD (33185)
Kendall West 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 Kendall West
- 6:2 FTS, 8:2 FTS, PFBS, PFHpA, PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, PFPeA above limit.
6:2 FTS (a PFAS 'forever chemical') was detected above EPA limits. These filters are independently certified to reduce common drinking-water contaminants.
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.
