What Makes Trinity's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Trinity, Florida, in Pasco County — a Pasco County unincorporated community adjacent to Land O' Lakes and New Port Richey north of Tampa Bay — receives its water from Pasco County Utilities, drawing from the Floridan Aquifer System through the west-central Florida distribution.
The soft 73 mg/L hardness and TDS of 161.8 mg/L reflect the Pasco County Floridan supply's soft character — the Eocene Avon Park Formation and Oligocene Suwannee Limestone are slightly calcareous formations in the west-central Florida karst belt, and the Pasco County Floridan wells tap shallower, less-mineralized aquifer zones than the deeper central Florida wells (compare Land O' Lakes FL: 71/157 in Pasco County comparable; New Port Richey FL: 74/166 in Pasco County comparable; Trinity consistent soft from the same Pasco County Floridan Aquifer Eocene slightly calcareous supply). The Pasco County Floridan — Eocene Avon Park Formation (slightly calcareous — primary hardness contributor), Oligocene Suwannee Limestone (slightly calcareous — secondary contributor), and Quaternary Florida coastal plain (insoluble — minor dilutant).
At 73 mg/L with TDS 162, Trinity's water is soft — minimal scale buildup. Annual descaling is appropriate. The PFAS level of 4.9 ppt is moderate — a certified drinking water filter provides added protection. Review Pasco County Utilities' annual water quality report.
Geology & Source: Trinity in Pasco County draws from the Pasco County Utilities on the Floridan Aquifer (Pasco County, west-central Florida) — the Pasco County Floridan draws from Eocene Avon Park Formation (slightly calcareous) and Oligocene Suwannee Limestone (slightly calcareous) — Florida Pasco County Floridan Aquifer Eocene slightly calcareous supply produces soft water at 73 mg/L with TDS 161.8 mg/L.
