PFAS Water Filter in Doral

Where to find WASD's PFAS results

WASD's 2025 Water Quality Report, posted on miamidade.gov, includes a separate table for PFAS listed under the new federal drinking water rule: PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS and a Hazard Index for mixtures. Doral is served by the Main System column. The report explains that initial compliance monitoring is underway, that systems report the required results in reports beginning in 2027, and that MCL violations would be reported starting in 2029. WASD's statement is that its systems are taking measures to comply with the new limits.

Read the result next to the MCL column yourself, or call WASD's water quality line at 786-552-4738 with questions.

The federal rules are still moving

The EPA finalized limits for six PFAS in April 2024, including 4.0 parts per trillion each for PFOA and PFOS, with a 2029 compliance date. In May 2026 the EPA proposed allowing systems to request two more years, to 2031, and proposed rescinding the limits for PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA and the Hazard Index. Check the EPA's PFAS page for the current status rather than relying on any single article.

Nationwide monitoring under EPA's fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) also covered 29 PFAS, and EPA's UCMR 5 Data Finder lets you search results by water system.

How to judge a PFAS filter

1. Certification first. Look for a listing under NSF/ANSI 53 (filtration) or NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis) that names PFOA and PFOS reduction.
2. The exact model. A brand having one certified product does not mean every product is certified. Look up the model number on the certifier's listing.
3. Point of use vs. whole home. Certified PFAS claims are most common on drinking-water systems at a single tap.
4. Maintenance. Performance depends on changing cartridges and membranes on schedule.

What Living Water can and cannot tell you

Living Water does not claim that its systems remove PFAS. If PFAS is your main concern, Jorge will tell you to choose equipment by its certification listing and will not recommend a system on that basis without one. What he can do is test your water for everyday decisions, such as disinfectant and hardness, explain your options for a drinking water system, and point you to a state-certified laboratory if you want documented PFAS results from your own tap.

A practical plan for a Doral household

• Read the PFAS table and the Main System column in WASD's latest report.
