DRINKING WATER WARNING Placid Lakes Utilities, Inc. water has high levels of nitrate. DO NOT GIVE THE WATER TO INFANTS UNDER 6 MONTHS OLD OR USE IT TO MAKE INFANT FORMULA On January 27, 2026, we received notice that the sample collected on August 6, 2025 showed nitrate levels of 10 mg/L and 13 mg/L. This is above the nitrate standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg/L. Nitrate in drinking water is a serious health concern for infants less than six months old. Nitrate in drinking water can come from natural, industrial, or agricultural sources (including septic systems and run-off). Levels of nitrate in drinking water can vary throughout the year. What should I do? What does this mean? DO NOT GIVE THE WATER TO INFANTS. *Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrate in excess of the MCL could become seriously ill and if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue baby syndrome.* Blue baby syndrome is indicated by blueness of the skin. Symptoms in infants can develop rapidly, with health deteriorating over a period of days. If symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately. Water, juice, and formula for children under six months of age should not be prepared with tap water. Bottled water or other water low in nitrates should be used for infants until further notice. DO NOT BOIL THE WATER. Boiling, freezing, filtering or letting water stand does not reduce the nitrate level. Excessive boiling can make the nitrates more concentrated, because nitrates remain behind when the water evaporates. Adults and children older than six months can drink the tap water (nitrate is a concern for infants because they can't process nitrates in the same way adults can). However, if you are pregnant or have specific health concerns, you may wish to consult your doctor. What is being done? We have taken new samples to the lab for testing. We will report the results as soon as we receive them. For more information, please contact Nathan Brewer at 863-441-1090. This notice is being sent to you by Placid Lakes Utilities, Inc. State Water System ID#6280223. Date distributed: January 28, 2026. Jan. 31, 2026
