It has 8 facilities where the water supply was tested for 85 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 69.17 µg/L. Some (4 of 32 or 13%) of the latest water samples showed levels of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 10.8 µg/L. There were 2 contamintants found in the Sarasota Co. Special Utility District water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
