Whitted, Florida: Arsenic and PFAS Contaminate Drinking Water Wells
Residents in Whitted, an unincorporated community southeast of Orlando, Florida, are affected by severe drinking water contamination. Tests requested from the Florida Department of Health confirmed the presence of arsenic and PFAS/PFOS in at least some community wells, chemicals associated with serious health problems. An ongoing $2.3 million project, announced in 2024, aims to connect Whitted to the local clean water system, but its implementation is slow, prompting residents to rely on bottled water.
