What Makes Jasmine Estates's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Jasmine Estates, Florida, in Pasco County — an unincorporated Pasco County community adjacent to Holiday and New Port Richey, in the coastal Pasco County Gulf-side corridor north of Tampa Bay — receives its municipal water from Pasco County Utilities, drawing from the Floridan Aquifer System (Upper Floridan Aquifer) through production wells in the Pasco County coastal plain.
The hard 198.5 mg/L hardness and high TDS of 554.5 mg/L reflect the Pasco County Floridan Aquifer's southwest Florida Platform dolomite character. Pasco County's Floridan wells access the Eocene Avon Park Formation (dense dolomite) and the Oligocene Suwannee Limestone (coralline-molluscan limestone), both highly karstified and calcareous. The coastal Pasco County wells are influenced by marine carbonate dissolution in the near-shore Floridan zone, and the elevated TDS reflects the mixing of fresh Floridan water with residual brackish water in the coastal aquifer section.
At 198.5 mg/L, Jasmine Estates' water is hard — scale builds rapidly in appliances and plumbing. A water softener is recommended. Dishes spot heavily, and bathroom fixtures develop calcium deposits quickly. The PFAS level of 8.8 ppt warrants a certified reverse osmosis drinking water filter — the MacDill Air Force Base (Hillsborough County — Tampa Bay, AFFF user in the Pasco-Hillsborough Floridan recharge zone) and the Pasco-Hillsborough Gulf Coast industrial-military PFAS background contribute to Jasmine Estates' elevated readings.
Geology & Source: Jasmine Estates in Pasco County draws from Pasco County Utilities on the Floridan Aquifer (Upper Floridan, Pasco County) — the Floridan consists of Eocene-Oligocene Avon Park Formation and Suwannee Limestone (karstified dolomite-limestone, southwest Florida Platform) — Florida Floridan Aquifer southwest Platform dolomite produces hard water at 198.5 mg/L with high TDS 555 mg/L in this Pasco County Florida community.
