Water Treatment in Palm Beach County

There is no single Palm Beach County water supply. Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) serves unincorporated areas plus Royal Palm Beach, Greenacres and Haverhill from Biscayne Aquifer wells about 150 feet deep, treated at four plants using lime softening, ion exchange, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. In the Glades, PBCWUD draws from the Floridan Aquifer for Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay. Most large cities run their own utilities instead: West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Wellington and Jupiter, while Seacoast Utility Authority supplies Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach. PBCWUD's 2025 water quality report shows a chloramine running annual average of 3.04 ppm (samples from 0.07 to 4.53), and PBCWUD stopped adding fluoride before July 2025. Chloramine is harder to remove than standard chlorine and is the chemical taste many residents notice in tap water and ice. Neither PBCWUD nor most city utilities publish a hardness figure, so we measure hardness at your tap instead of guessing.

Simple Water Service has been solving these problems for Palm Beach County homeowners since 2008. We've completed over 15,000 installations across every community from Jupiter to Boca Raton, from The Acreage to the coast. Whether you're on municipal water dealing with hardness and chloramines, or on a private well in the western communities dealing with iron, sulfur, and bacteria — we test first, recommend second, and back everything with a lifetime guarantee.

Our most common installation in Palm Beach County is a dual-system setup: a properly sized water softener to eliminate hardness plus a whole-home carbon filtration system to remove chloramines, taste, and odor. For families who want the cleanest possible drinking water, we add an under-sink reverse osmosis system that produces bottled-water quality from your tap.
