Where Do We Get Our Drinking Water From?
The Town of Jupiter gets its water from two sources- the surficial and Floridan aquifers. There are currently 63 wells around Town – 12 pull from the deeper Floridan aquifer which is 1,500 + feet deep, and 51 pull from the shallower surficial aquifer which is about 150 feet deep.
The Town uses both Reverse Osmosis( RO) and Nanofiltration( NF) membrane technology to treat its water. The NF processes the water from the surficial aquifer while the RO processes the water from the deeper Floridan aquifer.

RO and NF membrane treatment involves passing a pressurized raw water flow through a membrane system that separates it into two individual streams, known as permeate( the treated water) and concentrate( the by-product water). The membrane that separates them is a semipermeable barrier that only allows select components in the water to pass through. The pores of the membranes used for nanofiltration and reverse osmosis are so small that they cannot be seen even with a scanning electron microscope.
People with Special Health Concerns 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 healthcare providers. EPA / Center for Disease Control( 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 1-800-426-4791.
