Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
4.8ng/L
Each block = 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024)
Short answer: PFOS is above its federal limit (a 2024 limit that water systems have until at least 2029 to meet); 1 more is detected with no federal limit, and everything else measured is within its reference or not detected. On Top of the World serves 22,383 residents.
Your water bill or annual water quality report names your actual supplier.
The bar is drawn in blocks of the 4.0 ng/L federal MCL (2024), so the length shows how far above it the result sits.

ON TOP OF THE WORLD (EPA PWSID FL6424619) delivers groundwater to 22,383 residents. This report reflects 29 individual PFAS result(s) from the source UCMR5 observations and the latest Lead & Copper Rule 90th-percentile result. Water hardness and disinfectant type are pending the utility's own annual report.
0health-based violations in the last 10 years
From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.
No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.
A tap test can confirm levels at your home before you choose treatment.
PFOS 4.8 ng/L, above the 4 ng/L limit (+2 more PFAS detected)
Each card names which On Top of the World findings its current certification covers, and which it doesn't.

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For On Top of the World, PFOS 4.8 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. ON TOP OF THE WORLD (PWSID FL6424619) has a Purity Score of 74/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
ON TOP OF THE WORLD (PWS ID FL6424619) is the public water system on record for On Top of the World, Florida, serving about 22,383 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-04-09 to 2024-10-22), PFOS was measured at 4.8 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (5.8 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory) was also detected. PFPeA (3.3 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Lead is not in On Top of the World's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
PurityMap's current record for On Top of the World holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 28 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
