Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Palatka tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Palatka, no regulated PFAS were detected in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 16.8 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. R.C. WILLIS WTP (CITY OF PALATKA) (PWSID FL2544260) has a Purity Score of 62/100 (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.
Who provides tap water in Palatka?
R.C. WILLIS WTP (CITY OF PALATKA) (PWS ID FL2544260) is the public water system on record for Palatka, Florida, serving about 11,900 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Palatka get its drinking water?
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Palatka's water?
None of the 29 PFAS in EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-09-09 to 2025-03-14) was detected. "Not detected" means below the lab's reporting limit, not proven zero.
Is there lead in Palatka's tap water?
R.C. WILLIS WTP (CITY OF PALATKA)'s most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2025) was 16.8 µg/L, above the 15 µg/L action level. That figure comes from sampled homes; lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so only a test at your tap tells you what you drink.
What does the latest Palatka water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Palatka holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference and 30 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
