What Makes Lantana's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Lantana, Florida, in Palm Beach County — a Palm Beach County town adjacent to Lake Worth Beach and Boynton Beach on the Atlantic coast of southeast Florida — receives its water from the Palm Beach County Water Utilities or Lantana Utilities, drawing from the Biscayne Aquifer through the southeast Florida distribution.
The soft 86.5 mg/L hardness and TDS of 197 mg/L are on the softer end for southeast Florida groundwater — the Holocene Atlantic Coastal Plain limestone and Pleistocene Miami Limestone contribute modest calcareous mineral content, but the Lantana zone taps shallower, less-mineralized aquifer zones compared to the deeper Floridan Aquifer tapped by other Florida coastal cities (compare Lake Worth Beach FL: 84/191 in Palm Beach County comparable; Boynton Beach FL: 88/203 in Palm Beach County comparable; Lantana consistent soft from the same Palm Beach County Biscayne Aquifer Holocene supply). The Biscayne Aquifer — Holocene Atlantic Coastal Plain limestone (slightly calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Pleistocene Miami Limestone (calcareous — secondary contributor), and Holocene Atlantic coast sediment (insoluble — minimal TDS).
At 86.5 mg/L with TDS 197, Lantana's water is soft — minimal scale buildup. Annual descaling is appropriate. The PFAS level of 5.3 ppt is moderate — a certified drinking water filter provides added protection. Review Palm Beach County Water Utilities' annual water quality report.
Geology & Source: Lantana in Palm Beach County draws from the Palm Beach County Water on the Biscayne Aquifer (Palm Beach County, southeast Florida) — the Palm Beach County aquifer draws from Holocene Atlantic Coastal Plain limestone (slightly calcareous) and Pleistocene Miami Limestone (calcareous) — Florida Palm Beach County Biscayne Aquifer Holocene supply produces soft water at 86.5 mg/L with TDS 197 mg/L.
