What “Safe” Really Means for Your Largo Water
When people in Largo hear that their tap water “meets federal standards,” they assume it must be clean and safe to drink.
But here’s the truth—those standards haven’t caught up with the science.
And just because your water is considered “legal” doesn’t mean it’s healthy for your family.
We talk to homeowners all the time who are shocked to learn what’s really in their water.
How PFAS and Arsenic End Up in Your Tap
Some of the biggest concerns in Pinellas County include PFAS (forever chemicals), arsenic, chlorine byproducts, and even lead in older plumbing systems.
These contaminants are invisible, tasteless, and completely legal in small amounts—but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless.
PFAS: The “Forever Chemicals” in Your Pipes
Let’s take PFAS as an example. These man-made chemicals are linked to serious health issues like cancer, liver damage, hormone disruption, and immune system problems.
Yet they’re still found in water across the U.S., including right here in Florida.
The EPA only recently set stricter limits, but many municipal systems haven’t caught up.
Then there’s arsenic, a natural element that can seep into groundwater.
Long-term exposure is known to increase the risk of skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, and several types of cancer.
And yet, many well owners don’t even know it’s there until it’s too late.
So why don’t federal standards do more?
Because they’re based on outdated research, lobbying pressure, and what water systems can reasonably afford, not what’s truly best for your health.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) and other health organizations recommend far stricter limits than what’s legally allowed.
