Fruitland Park is a small Lake County community where many residents rely on private wells from the Floridan Aquifer. Hard water, iron, and sulfur are the primary concerns.
Data from the EWG Tap Water Database, EPA ECHO, and Fruitland Park's Consumer Confidence Reports. Levels shown are above EWG health-based guidelines — stricter than federal legal limits.
Floridan Aquifer well water is extremely hard — causing rapid scale buildup and appliance damage.
Orange staining throughout the home is common for Fruitland Park well users.
Sulfur odor is a common complaint in this area of Lake County.
Annual bacteria testing is essential for all private well owners in Florida.
⚠️ Legal ≠ safe. Federal limits are set on economic feasibility, not purely health risk. EWG guidelines reflect a 1-in-1-million cancer risk threshold.
Many Central Florida residents rely on private wells drawing from the Floridan Aquifer. These wells are unregulated — your water quality is entirely your responsibility to test and treat.
The Floridan Aquifer is naturally high in iron and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor). Iron causes orange staining on fixtures, laundry, and landscaping.
Well water in Central Florida is among the hardest in the country — often 20–30+ grains per gallon. This destroys water heaters and appliances within years.
Fertilizer runoff from nearby farms and lawns can contaminate wells with nitrates, which are dangerous for infants and pregnant women.
Private wells can be contaminated by septic systems, surface runoff, and wildlife. Annual testing is essential — no county regulations apply.
Acidic well water corrodes copper pipes and plumbing, leaching metals into your drinking water and causing premature fixture failure.
The Floridan Aquifer contains naturally occurring radioactive elements. Deep wells especially require testing for radium and uranium.
