The Town of Lady Lake is pleased to announce the release of its 2024 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report, as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). This comprehensive report is designed to keep residents informed about the quality of their drinking water and the measures taken to ensure it remains safe and dependable.
“Our goal is to provide residents with a reliable supply of high-quality drinking water,” said Public Works Director C.T Eagle. “We want our community to understand the ongoing efforts we make to safeguard our precious water resources.”
The Town continually monitors for contaminants in drinking water in accordance with state and federal regulations. Lady Lake is proud to report no violations for water quality and full compliance with all federal and state drinking water standards.
Lady Lake’s drinking water is sourced from three water treatment plants, which include five wells within the community, drawing from the Floridan Aquifer—one of the most protected aquifers in the world. The water is treated using aeration and chlorination to ensure effective disinfection.
In 2024, the FDEP conducted a Source Water Assessment of the Town’s water system. The assessment identified potential sources for contamination as low concern. The assessment results are available for public review online at: https://prodapps.dep.state.fl.us/swapp.
The Town also completed an inventory assessment of service line plumbing materials in 2024, continuing into 2025, as part of state and federal efforts to reduce lead exposure. The survey revealed no lead service lines in the Lady Lake water system.
The report also highlights important information about lead in drinking water. Lead is primarily introduced through household plumbing and service lines. While Lady Lake is responsible for providing high-quality water and has removed lead pipes from its system, residents are encouraged to inspect their home plumbing and take steps to minimize exposure. These include using certified filters, flushing taps before use, and using only cold water for drinking or cooking. More information on reducing lead exposure and certified testing options is available through the EPA at https://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Copies of the 2024 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report are available at Town Hall or by contacting Butch Goodman at (352) 751-1526 during regular business hours.
