32 communities across Palm Beach County

All 32 Palm Beach County communities on this page, from our office in West Palm Beach: 8 in North County, 9 in Central County, 9 in South County, 6 in Western Communities. That runs from Tequesta and Jupiter on the northern edge to Boca Raton in the south and west to Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay in the Glades.

Fifteen utilities, plus private wells across much of the western communities. The City of West Palm Beach runs the county's only surface-water system; the rest draw on the surficial (Biscayne) and Floridan aquifers and treat it anywhere from lime softening to full reverse osmosis. Each publishes an annual water quality report (a Consumer Confidence Report), and only two, Boca Raton and Tequesta, publish a finished hardness figure. Each community page links the official report or guidance behind it.

6.1 out of 10, across 29 scored locations. The Honest Water Score is our score, built from official utility reports: it rates the treatment each utility publishes, from full reverse osmosis at 8.5 to private wells at 3.0. After an install, homes score 9.5+, and the free test at your sink gives your own starting number.

Our softener plus reverse osmosis package starts at $2,850, installed, with a lifetime warranty. Your hardness, the size of your home and where the equipment can go can add to that, so the free in-home test, about fifteen minutes at your kitchen sink, turns it into an exact number before you decide.
