Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 32086 Tap Water

What's in ZIP 32086 tap water?

ZIP 32086 has 6 detected contaminants below EPA limits in this dataset. 8:2 FTS measured closest to its guideline.

Will boiling ZIP 32086 tap water remove 8:2 FTS?

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 32086, a certified filter is more reliable.

Do basic pitcher filters remove 8:2 FTS?

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 32086?

Public records identify ST. AUGUSTINE WS as a primary water system associated with ZIP 32086. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.
