EPA records for DANIA BEACH, CITY OF • Updated October 2026
Grade F — based on EPA compliance records, lead testing and PFAS monitoring
DANIA BEACH, CITY OF has serious issues in EPA's records: repeated health-based violations, unresolved violations, PFAS above the federal limit or lead near the action level. We recommend filtering drinking water.
Dania Beach, FL tap water is legal to drink but grades F on EPA's records, mainly because of 1 health-based EPA violation in the last five years (1 unresolved) and PFOA or PFOS measured at or above the 4 ppt federal limit in 2023–2025 EPA sampling. A certified filter matched to those findings is a reasonable precaution.
Dania Beach, FL tap water is legal to drink but grades F on EPA's records, mainly because of 1 health-based EPA violation in the last five years (1 unresolved) and PFOA or PFOS measured at or above the 4 ppt federal limit in 2023–2025 EPA sampling. A certified filter matched to those findings is a reasonable precaution.
DANIA BEACH, CITY OF's most recent Lead and Copper Rule result (2023-01-01 to 2023-12-01) was 1.1 ppb at the 90th percentile, below EPA's 15 ppb action level. Because lead usually comes from service lines and household plumbing, homes built before 1986 should still test at the tap.
Yes. EPA's UCMR5 sampling (2025-02-18 to 2025-09-24) detected PFBA, PFBS, PFHpA, PFHxA, PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, PFPeA, with PFOA or PFOS at or above the 4 ppt federal MCL. Reverse osmosis and certified activated-carbon filters reduce PFAS.
DANIA BEACH, CITY OF has 40 violations on file since 2016: 1 health-based in the last five years (1 still unresolved) and 31 monitoring or reporting violations in that window. Monitoring violations are paperwork lapses, not measured contamination.
DANIA BEACH, CITY OF reports groundwater as its primary source and serves about 30,000 people (EPA PWSID FL4060253).
We recommend one. Reverse osmosis or a PFAS-certified carbon filter addresses the PFAS result.

EPA Lead and Copper Rule 90th-percentile results reported by DANIA BEACH, CITY OF
Well below the 15 ppb action level. In the most recent monitoring period on file (2023-01-01 to 2023-12-01), 90% of the homes DANIA BEACH, CITY OF sampled had lead at or below 1.1 ppb.
EPA's action level is 15 ppb (dropping to 10 ppb under the 2024 Lead and Copper Rule Improvements). There is no safe level of lead; the 90th-percentile figure describes the system, not your tap — homes with lead service lines or pre-1986 plumbing can be higher.

EPA UCMR5 monitoring, 2025-02-18 to 2025-09-24 · 58 PFAS results at entry points to the distribution system
PFOA and PFOS measured at or above EPA's legal limit in at least one sample. Utilities have until 2029 (2031 under EPA's proposed extension) to comply with the 2024 PFAS rule, so a result above the MCL today is not yet a violation — but it is the number that matters for your health.
| Compound | Detects / samples | Max (ppt) | Reporting limit | EPA MCL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PFOA | 2 / 2 | 5.8 | 4 ppt | 4 ppt |
| PFOS | 2 / 2 | 13.9 | 4 ppt | 4 ppt |
| PFHxS | 2 / 2 | 5 | 3 ppt | 10 ppt |
| PFNA | 0 / 2 | < 4 | 4 ppt | 10 ppt |
| HFPO-DA | 0 / 2 | < 5 | 5 ppt | 10 ppt |

| PFHxA | 2 / 2 | 6.1 | 3 ppt | hazard index only |
| PFPeA | 2 / 2 | 8.5 | 3 ppt | hazard index only |
“< 4 ppt” means below the laboratory reporting limit, not zero. ppt = parts per trillion (ng/L). Results are for finished water leaving the treatment plant.

EPA Six-Year Review 4 compliance samples for DANIA BEACH, CITY OF · finished water only · dated data, released 2024
These are the regulated-contaminant samples DANIA BEACH, CITY OF reported to its state between 2012 and 2019 — the most recent nationwide sample-level dataset EPA has published. Every scored contaminant stayed within its Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) and averaged below 80% of the limit. Treat this as history, not today's tap water.
| Contaminant | Samples | Average | Max | EPA limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenic | 50 detects | 0 µg/L | ND | 10 µg/LMCL | Not detected |
| Nitrate (as N) | 94 detects | 0.017 mg/L | 0.062 mg/L | 10 mg/LMCL | Within MCL |
| Fluoride | 10 | 0.611 mg/L | 0.764 mg/L | 4 mg/LMCL | Within MCL |
| Chromium (total) | 50 detects | 0 µg/L | ND | 100 µg/LMCL | Not detected |
| Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) | 112 | 10.31 µg/L | 31.43 µg/L | 80 µg/LMCL (LRAA) | Within MCL |
| Haloacetic acids (HAA5) | 114 | 15.848 µg/L | 31.6 µg/L | 60 µg/LMCL (LRAA) | Within MCL |
| Lead (tap samples) | 72 detects | 1.786 µg/L | 11 µg/L | 15 µg/Laction level (90th percentile) | Reported, not scored (compliance is on the 90th percentile) |
| Copper (tap samples) | 5 | 7.56 µg/L | 13 µg/L | 1300 µg/Laction level (90th percentile) | Reported, not scored (compliance is on the 90th percentile) |
Averages count non-detects as zero. TTHM and HAA5 limits are locational running annual averages, so a single high sample is not a violation — we grade those on the average only. Lead and copper rows are individual tap samples and are shown for context; compliance (and our score) uses the 90th-percentile result above. LRAA = locational running annual average; ND = not detected.

How to test your tap water and the treatment options that actually fit Dania Beach homes
The most reliable way to know what is actually coming out of your tap is a certified mail-in lab test. City-wide EPA data (like the report above) reflects the water leaving the treatment plant, but contaminants such as lead and copper can be picked up from your own service line and household plumbing — so the water at your Dania Beach faucet can differ from the system average. A state-certified lab measures dozens of contaminants at once with results you can trust; you can also find one near you through the EPA's certified-lab list at epa.gov/dwlabcert. Hardware-store test strips are cheaper and instant, but they only screen for a few basics (chlorine, hardness, pH, and a rough lead pass/fail) and are far less accurate — treat them as a first look, not a diagnosis.
Match the treatment to what your test finds. Reverse osmosis (RO) removes the widest range of contaminants — lead, arsenic, nitrate, PFAS, and dissolved solids — which makes an under-sink reverse osmosis system the most thorough choice for Dania Beach households with heavy-metal or PFAS concerns. If your main issue is taste, odor, or chlorine, an activated carbon filter (pitcher, faucet, or under-sink) is simpler and cheaper and handles chlorine and many organic compounds well, though carbon alone does not remove arsenic, nitrate, or most PFAS. NSF-certified pitchers rated for lead reduction are the easiest way to start today while you decide on a permanent setup.

Dania Beach, FL tap water is legal to drink but grades F on EPA's records, mainly because of 1 health-based EPA violation in the last five years (1 unresolved) and PFOA or PFOS measured at or above the 4 ppt federal limit in 2023–2025 EPA sampling. A certified filter matched to those findings is a reasonable precaution.
DANIA BEACH, CITY OF's most recent Lead and Copper Rule result (2023-01-01 to 2023-12-01) was 1.1 ppb at the 90th percentile, below EPA's 15 ppb action level. Because lead usually comes from service lines and household plumbing, homes built before 1986 should still test at the tap.
Yes. EPA's UCMR5 sampling (2025-02-18 to 2025-09-24) detected PFBA, PFBS, PFHpA, PFHxA, PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, PFPeA, with PFOA or PFOS at or above the 4 ppt federal MCL. Reverse osmosis and certified activated-carbon filters reduce PFAS.
DANIA BEACH, CITY OF has 40 violations on file since 2016: 1 health-based in the last five years (1 still unresolved) and 31 monitoring or reporting violations in that window. Monitoring violations are paperwork lapses, not measured contamination.
DANIA BEACH, CITY OF reports groundwater as its primary source and serves about 30,000 people (EPA PWSID FL4060253).
We recommend one. Reverse osmosis or a PFAS-certified carbon filter addresses the PFAS result.
