Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Spring Hill tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Spring Hill, PFOS 8.6 ng/L and PFOA 4.4 ng/L were measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 1.3 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. HERNANDO CO UTL-WEST (PWSID FL6277059) has a Purity Score of 56/100 (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 Spring Hill?
HERNANDO CO UTL-WEST (PWS ID FL6277059) is the public water system on record for Spring Hill, Florida, serving about 145,204 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Spring Hill get its drinking water?
Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Spring Hill's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-07-01 to 2024-10-30), PFOS was measured at 8.6 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit and PFOA was measured at 4.4 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (7.2 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory), PFHxA (4.3 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) and PFHxS (3.3 ng/L, below the 10 ng/L federal limit) were also detected. PFPeA (5.7 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.
Is there lead in Spring Hill's tap water?
HERNANDO CO UTL-WEST's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2023) was 1.3 µg/L, below 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 Spring Hill water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Spring Hill holds 31 findings: 2 above a reference, 4 detected within the reference, 1 detected with no limit and 24 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

Methodology: how we analyze water. Prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by the PurityMap Editorial Team before publication.
Something off with your water's smell, color or taste?
Start with the hot-or-cold tap check. Where Hernando County Utilities (West) reported something related, it's shown below.
- Rotten-egg smell
- Cloudy or milky water
- Chlorine smell
- Brown or yellow water
- Metallic taste
Lead at Hernando County Utilities (West): 1.3 µg/L (90th percentile, 2023 monitoring period). Lead has no taste, so a taste neither shows nor rules it out.
