Enclave, The, FL

Lead detected, under the action levels

Latest 90th-percentile lead: 3.8 ppb (monitoring period 2025-2025). The federal action level is 15 ppb today and drops to 10 ppb in Nov 2027; EPA's health goal is 0. Lead was measured in sampled homes but the 90th percentile is under both action levels. EPA's health goal for lead is zero, so test your own tap if your home was built before 1986 or anyone in it is pregnant or a young child.

Who runs the water here

It is privately owned and draws groundwater, in Chautauqua County, Florida. EPA system ID: NY0611701; phone on file: 716-397-4150. Call that number and ask whether your address has a lead, galvanized or unknown service line.

Your move

Test your own tap with a certified lab first-draw sample; Hobe Sound, FL may offer free or low-cost kits through the utility. If your own line is lead, replacing the private side runs about $1,200-$12,300 (EPA average about $4,700). Ask Enclave, The whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.

These figures describe homes the utility sampled, not your tap. Only your service line record or a test of your own water answers the question for your house. What a 90th-percentile result does and does not tell you: how to read a lead result. Systems that went over once often dip back under; here is what that means.
