Lantana runs its own utility. If you're thinking about water filter installation there, start with what the town publishes about its water source and how it treats that water. That gives you a real starting point, not a sales pitch. The utility that sends your water bill is your utility. Once you have that, the main question is which kind of system fits your home and how you use water.
The main choices for Lantana homeowners
Whole-house filter
A whole-house filter goes on the supply line where it enters the house, so it treats water before that water reaches any fixture inside. It makes sense if you want consistent treatment at every indoor fixture after the point where it is installed. You can read more at How a whole-house water filter works.
Under-sink reverse osmosis
An under-sink RO system treats water at one point, usually the kitchen sink. It is a common choice for drinking and cooking water. It needs a dedicated faucet and a drain connection inside the cabinet. See Whole-house filter or reverse osmosis: how to choose for a fuller comparison.
Water softener
Lantana's 2025 report does not publish a hardness figure. If that number matters to your decision, the town is the right place to ask. A softener targets hardness minerals, not other water characteristics. Our softener vs. filter guide covers the difference. Softeners are not part of what we are starting with in Palm Beach County.
What Lantana's water report says about the source and treatment
According to the Town of Lantana's 2025 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report, Lantana pulls its water from the East Coast Surficial Aquifer System through ten shallow wells. Those wells reach depths from a few feet down to roughly 200 feet. At the treatment plant, the town adds chlorine, then aerates the water to drive off natural gases. After that, it goes through filtration to remove suspended particles and fine organic and inorganic material. Before the water enters the distribution system, the town injects Zinc Orthophosphate for corrosion control. The 2025 report covers monitoring from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

Choosing a system based on where you want treated water
Which system fits depends less on a single report number and more on where in the house you want treated water and what your plumbing allows. A whole-house filter handles everything that branches off the main line inside the house, though hose bibs and irrigation lines often branch off before it. An under-sink RO reaches only the fixture it connects to. Those are installation facts, not water quality judgments.

How we work with Lantana homeowners
We are starting in Palm Beach County, and coverage depends on confirmed plumbers in your area. You call, send a few photos of your incoming water line or open sink cabinet, and get one written price for a named system. A local plumber does the install. We only give you a date once that plumber has confirmed it. We are starting with homes on city water, which Lantana's utility serves. The Town of Lantana's 2025 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report notes that the town holds public meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. if you want to ask questions about your water directly.
