Please be advised that the Town’s drinking water is monitored and tested on a daily basis and continues to confirm that it is safe to drink and well within all mandatory Florida Department of Health water treatment parameters. Our water is tested internally on a daily basis for chlorine, hardness, color, iron, PH, alkalinity, chlorides, total dissolved solids, temperature and conductivity. In addition, it is tested externally three (3) times per month for various conditions (i.e., total coliform/E.coli; total coliform/fecal; enterococci; coliphage and HPC) and semi-annually for lead and copper.

In accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) new requirements, the Town is currently conducting a comprehensive water service line inventory to determine if any of our water service lines potentially contain lead services, or galvanized requiring replacement (GRR) services which are galvanized service lines that are or have previously been downstream of a lead service. These materials could cause adverse health effects to our residents and visitors. As a result, the Town, in conjunction with our engineers has been reviewing our infrastructure records to identify any such potential water service lines. Due to the age, location and condition of some of our infrastructure, a physical inspection of the water service line will be required (at a later date), in order to make a final determination of the content of the water line’s material. This process involves analyzing the service lines that connect your property to the water main to ensure they do not contain any unknown materials, (i.e., lead or GRR pipes). Please be advised that to date, while reviewing our records, the Town has not found such pipes. The Town’s goal is to maintain the highest standards of water safety for Lantana residents and visitors. Please be advised that due to this process you may receive additional correspondence and or information regarding this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Eddie Crockett, Public Services Director, at (561) 540-5753 or ecrockett@lantana.org.
