Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

Ocoee's drinking water comes from deep wells tapping the Floridan Aquifer and is treated and distributed by the city's municipal utility. Like much of Central Florida, the supply generally meets federal safe-drinking-water standards, but testing has detected disinfection byproducts (trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids) from chlorination, as well as low levels of PFAS chemicals that exceed newer, stricter EPA health-based limits. Overall water quality is typical for the region, with no major long-term violations, though PFAS and disinfection byproducts remain the primary concerns.

    Periodic elevated total trihalomethane levels approaching or near the EPA MCL of 80 ppb have been noted in some distribution samples, a common issue for surface/groundwater systems using chlorine disinfection. Levels were generally kept in compliance through operational adjustments.

  • Failure to Conduct Routine Coliform Monitoring

    low severityResolved

    The City of Ocoee water system was cited for not collecting the required number of total coliform samples during a monitoring period under the Revised Total Coliform Rule, a monitoring/reporting violation rather than a confirmed contaminant exceedance.

  • City of Ocoee PFAS Litigation (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam MDL)

    pending/potentialPFASPFOAPFOSAFFF

    Numerous Florida municipal water systems have joined or are eligible to participate in the national Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) multidistrict litigation against 3M, DuPont and related manufacturers over PFAS contamination of drinking water sources. 3M reached a nationwide settlement (approximately $10.3 billion) with public water systems in 2023-2024, and DuPont/Chemours/Corteva reached a related settlement (approximately $1.185 billion). Ocoee, like other Central Florida utilities drawing from the Floridan aquifer, may be an eligible class member, though no Ocoee-specific verified filing is publicly documented.
