Home Water Testing in Lake Park

What the free test covers

• Chloramine/total chlorine: compare with Seacoast's reported 3.6 to 3.8 ppm range.
• Hardness: Seacoast does not publish a hardness figure, so this is the number most people want.
• TDS: a quick look at dissolved minerals, useful before and after RO.
• pH and iron: especially if you have stains or a well.

Reading Seacoast's report alongside your results

Seacoast's 2025 Annual Water Quality Report is posted on sua.com and on the Town of Lake Park's Community page. It covers samples from the treatment plant, the distribution system and private homes. Jorge walks you through the parts that matter for your decision, such as the chloramine level, the lead and copper results and the note that Seacoast does not add fluoride.

See our guide on what happens during a home water assessment.

When to use a certified lab

• Bacteria in a private drinking well: the Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory in West Palm Beach tests for total coliform and E. coli.
• Lead from old home plumbing.
• PFAS or other specific chemicals.

Compare home screening vs. lab analysis.

What happens after the test

You get plain-language results and, only if something fits, a recommendation and itemized quote. If your water is fine for your goals, Jorge will say that too.

Signs worth mentioning when you book

• A chemical or pool smell from the tap.
• Rotten-egg smell on hot water only.
• White spots on glass and fixtures.
• Orange stains outdoors or in sinks.
• Cloudy or discolored water after street or main work.
• Water that tastes different at one tap than another.

These help Jorge decide which taps to test and whether to look at the water heater, an irrigation well or the home's plumbing as well.

Why your tap can differ from the report

Seacoast's numbers are averages and ranges across about 500 miles of mains. Water that sits in a long service line or older home plumbing can show slightly lower disinfectant, a different pH or a little iron. Water heaters, softeners and existing filters change things further. That is why Jorge tests at the taps you actually use, and often compares the kitchen with a bathroom or outdoor spigot.

Testing for a business. Restaurants, offices and laundries in Lake Park can book the same free screening. Jorge tests where the equipment draws water, such as the ice machine or dishwasher line, so the result reflects what that equipment sees.
