Water Treatment in Oviedo, FL
Your Oviedo water is safe to drink, but the city disinfects it differently than its neighbors. Oviedo uses chloramine instead of plain chlorine, and chloramine sticks around longer in the water. A basic fridge or pitcher filter does not take it out well, so it can still leave a taste and a smell at your tap. On top of that, the water is hard, so you see white buildup on your faucets and glasses. We test your water right at your home, show you the real Oviedo numbers, and install the right system so your family gets cleaner, softer water from every tap.
What is in Oviedo tap water?
Oviedo tap water comes from the Floridan Aquifer, pumped through the city's ten wells at the West Mitchell Hammock facility. It meets EPA safety standards, but Oviedo disinfects with chloramine instead of plain chlorine, about 2.30 ppm in 2024. Chloramine lasts longer in water and is harder to filter, so a basic filter does not remove it well. The water is also hard. A whole-house softener plus reverse osmosis with catalytic carbon fixes the taste and the hardness.
The real numbers
What is actually in Oviedo tap water?
Here are the real facts about your water, straight from the City of Oviedo's own 2024 report. No scare tactics. You can check every number yourself.
Sources: Provider, source, chloramine level, TTHM, HAA5, fluoride, and lead from the City of Oviedo 2024 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report (cityofoviedo.net). Chloramine filtration guidance from the U.S. EPA. Hardness context from USGS. Oviedo does not publish a hardness figure, so no city number is claimed here. Fluoride figure is from the most recent report available (2023 sampling); a 2025 state law changed fluoride rules statewide, so we make no claim about the current status. This report does not include PFAS testing, so we make no claim about PFAS in Oviedo water either way.

What city water does in your home
If you live here, you already know. These are the exact words Central Florida homeowners use about their tap water.
“Smells like a swimming pool as soon as you turn on the tap.”
“I bought a filter and it still tastes off, I don't get it.”
“Everything has that white chalky film, glasses, shower doors, you name it.”
“Hair feels like straw and my skin is constantly itchy after a shower.”
“We were spending forty to fifty dollars a week on bottled water from Publix.”
None of this means your water is dangerous. It means it is chloraminated, hard, and harder to filter than most Oviedo homeowners realize. The good news: all of it is fixable.
How we fix Oviedo water
Two systems that work together
Oviedo water has two jobs to do. Soften the whole house, and clean up the water you actually drink. One system handles the hardness in every faucet and shower. The other handles the chloramine taste and the byproducts at your kitchen sink, with the right carbon for the job.
Whole-house water softener
Removes the hardness that dries your skin, stiffens your hair, and leaves white buildup on your faucets and glasses. Soft water in every shower and every faucet.
See water softenersReverse osmosis for drinking
Installs under your kitchen sink. Uses catalytic carbon, the kind that actually removes chloramine, plus reverse osmosis to take out the taste and the disinfection byproducts the city measures in Oviedo water. Clean water straight from the tap, so you stop buying bottles.

Oviedo water, explained
Oviedo water questions, answered
What is chloramine, and why does Oviedo use it?
Chloramine is a disinfectant made by combining chlorine with a small amount of ammonia. Many cities, including Oviedo, use it instead of plain chlorine because it stays active in the pipes longer and forms fewer disinfection byproducts. The trade-off is that chloramine is harder to filter out of your drinking water. Oviedo averaged about 2.30 ppm in 2024. We test your home and set up the right filtration to remove it.
Is Oviedo tap water safe to drink?
Yes. It meets EPA safety standards. But safe does not mean it tastes good or feels good. The chloramine, the disinfection byproducts, and the hard water are all still there at your tap. That is a taste, comfort, and skin issue, and that is the part we fix.
How is Oviedo's water different from Casselberry or the rest of the county?
The main difference is the disinfectant. Oviedo uses chloramine, while Casselberry and most of Seminole County use plain chlorine. Chloramine lasts longer and is harder to filter. On the other hand, Oviedo's disinfection byproducts, TTHM and HAA5, measured lower than Casselberry's in the latest reports. Different water, different fix, which is why we test your specific home before recommending anything.
Does Oviedo still add fluoride to the water?
At the most recent report available, Oviedo was adding fluoride at about 0.69 ppm, close to the old optimal level. A 2025 Florida law changed the rules on fluoride statewide, so the current status is not something we can confirm from that report. If fluoride matters to your family, it is worth asking the city directly. Reverse osmosis at your kitchen sink reduces fluoride in your drinking water either way.
What kind of filter removes chloramine from Oviedo water?
Not a basic one. A standard fridge filter or a cheap pitcher does not remove chloramine well, which is why many people still taste or smell it. It takes catalytic carbon, a specific type of carbon filter, usually paired with reverse osmosis, to take it out of your drinking water. That is exactly what we build for Oviedo homes.
