What Makes Kings Point's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Kings Point, Florida, in Palm Beach County — a Palm Beach County unincorporated community adjacent to Delray Beach and Boynton Beach in southeast Florida — receives its water from the Palm Beach County Water, drawing from the Biscayne Aquifer (Palm Beach County) through the southeast Florida distribution.
The very hard 282 mg/L hardness and TDS of 896.8 mg/L reflect the southeast Florida Palm Beach County Biscayne Aquifer supply's very hard calcareous character — the Pleistocene Miami Limestone highly calcareous and Fort Thompson Formation produce very hard water throughout south Florida, with Palm Beach County's deeper Biscayne draw accumulating more TDS than Broward County (compare Wilton Manors FL: 231/680 in Broward County slightly softer; Kings Point harder from the deeper Palm Beach County Biscayne aquifer draw). The Biscayne Aquifer at Palm Beach County — Pleistocene Miami Limestone (highly calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Pleistocene Fort Thompson Formation (calcareous — secondary contributor), and evaporative concentration (calcareous — TDS contributor).
At 282 mg/L with TDS 897, Kings Point's water is very hard. A water softener is strongly recommended to prevent rapid scale buildup. A reverse osmosis system is advisable for drinking water. The PFAS level of 11.4 ppt is very high — a certified drinking water filter is strongly recommended — the Palm Beach County southeast Florida urban corridor contribute to Kings Point's elevated PFAS readings.
Geology & Source: Kings Point in Palm Beach County is served by Palm Beach County Water drawing from the Biscayne Aquifer — the Palm Beach County aquifer includes Pleistocene Miami Limestone (highly calcareous) and Pleistocene Fort Thompson Formation (calcareous) — FL Palm Beach County Biscayne Aquifer Pleistocene calcareous supply produces very hard water at 282 mg/L with TDS 896.8 mg/L.
