Can You Drink Tap Water in North Miami Beach?

Yes, North Miami Beach's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as North Miami Beach has no active health based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that we are aware of. Other factors such as lead piping in a home, or low levels of pollutants on immunocompromised individuals, should also be considered, however. To find more recent info we might have, you can check out our boil water notice page, the city's water provider website, or North Miami Beach's local Twitter account.

According the EPA’s ECHO database, from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2022, North Miami Beach's water utility, North Miami Beach, had 0 violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. For more details on the violations, please see our violation history section below. The last violation for North Miami Beach was resolved on Dec. 31, 2018. This assessment is based on the North Miami Beach water system, other water systems in the city may have different results.

While tap water that meets the EPA health guidelines generally won’t make you sick to your stomach, it can still contain regulated and unregulated contaminants present in trace amounts that could potentially cause health issues over the long-run. These trace contaminants may also impact immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals.

The EPA is reviewing if it’s current regulations around pollutant levels in tap water are strict enough, and the health dangers posed by unregulated pollutants, like PFAS.

Water Quality Report for North Miami Beach Tap Water

The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in North Miami Beach tap water are in its 2020 Water Quality Report. As you can see, there are levels which the EPA considers to be acceptable, but being below the maximum allowable level doesn’t necessarily mean the water is healthy.

Lead in tap water, for example, is currently allowed at up to 15ppb by the EPA, but it has set the ideal goal for lead at zero. This highlights how meeting EPA standards doesn’t necessarily mean local tap water is healthy.

EPA regulations continue to change as it evaluates the long term impacts of chemicals and updates drinking water acceptable levels. The rules around arsenic, as well as, lead and copper are currently being re-evaluated.

There are also a number of "emerging" contaminants that are not currently. For example, PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), for which the EPA has issued a health advisory. PFAS are called "forever chemicals" since they tend not to break down in the environment or the human body and can accumulate over time.

We recommend looking at the contaminants present in North Miami Beach's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.

North Miami Beach Tap Water Safe Drinking Water Act Violation History - Prior 10 Years

Below is a ten year history of violations for the water system named North Miami Beach for North Miami Beach in Florida. For more details please see the "What do these Violations Mean?" section below.

From Jan. 1, 2018 to Dec. 31, 2018, North Miami Beach had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Monitoring and Reporting, more specifically, the violation code was Monitoring, Regular which falls into the Chemicals rule code group, and the Inorganic Chemicals rule code family for the following contaminant code: Nitrate.

For the compliance period beginning Jan. 1, 2012, North Miami Beach had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Monitoring and Reporting, more specifically, the violation code was Follow-up Or Routine LCR Tap M/R which falls into the Chemicals rule code group, and the Lead and Copper Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: Lead and Copper Rule.

Is there Lead in North Miami Beach Water?

Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the North Miami Beach water system, North Miami Beach, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.0034 mg/L of lead in North Miami Beach water. This is 22.7% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from North Miami Beach contained more lead.

While North Miami Beach water testing may have found 0.0034 mg/L of lead in its water, that does not mean your water source has the same amount. The amount of lead in water in a city can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood, or even building to building. Many buildings, particularly older ones, have lead pipes or service lines which can be a source of contamination. To find out if your home has lead, we recommend getting you water tested.

No amount of lead in water is healthy, only less dangerous. As lead accumulates in our bodies over time, even exposure to relatively small amounts can have negative health effects. For more information, please check out our Lead FAQ page.

Are there PFAS in North Miami Beach Tap Water?

Currently, testing tap water for PFAS isn’t mandated on a national level. We do have a list of military bases where there have been suspected or confirmed leaks. There appears to be at least one military base - Homestead AFB - near North Miami Beach with suspected leaks.

With many potential sources of PFAS in tap water across the US, the best information we currently have about which cities have PFAS in their water is this ewg map, which you can check to see if North Miami Beach has been evaluated for yet.

Our stance is better safe than sorry, and that it makes sense to try to purify the tap water just in case.

Source Water Assessment and Protection Program

In 2020, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) performed a Source Water Assessment on our system. The assessment was conducted to provide information about any potential sources of contamination in the vicinity of our wells. There are 12 potential sources of contamination identified for this system with low susceptibility levels. The assessment results are available on the DEP SWAPP website at https://fldep.dep.state.fl.us/swapp/ or by contacting the Water Quality Manager at (305) 770-5125.

Sampling and Analysis

NMB Water’s staff collects and analyzes drinking water samples for numerous contaminants on an hourly, daily, monthly and annual basis. NMB Water’s laboratory is state certified for the analysis in microbiology and ensures that the water delivered to our customers is of the highest quality possible. Water samples from 66 locations throughout the water service are tested twice per month. NMB Water is required to monitor for numerous of possible contaminants.

A summary of detected contaminants is listed on the table provided in this report. Our results are well

within the regulatory standards set by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).

Water Quality Data

The table in this report lists all the drinking water contaminants we detected during the 2020 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 through December 31, 2020. The State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the water quality, is more than one year old.

2020 WATER QUALITY REPORT

About Lead

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. NMB Water is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at: epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Public Participation

NMB Water promotes water conservation and education through community outreach. We partner with local schools and participate in community events to encourage conservation. To learn more about water conservation and education, visit our conservation page at NMBWater.com.

We encourage our customers to be informed about their water utility. You can learn more about plans for the utility by attending monthly meetings of the Public Utilities Commission. Public Utilities Commission meetings are normally held the second Wednesday of each month in the North Miami Beach City Hall, second floor, Commission Chambers, 17011 NE 19th Avenue, at 6 p.m. Please call (305) 948-2967 (ext. 7975) to confirm.

About Contaminants

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

  1. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
  2. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
  3. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
  4. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are

by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

  1. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the

NMB WATER / Reliable Water For Our Communities

amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

Vulnerable Populations

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800) 426-4791.
