Do you have forever chemicals in your drinking water?

[progressive hunter]

They're saying elevated pfas levels as of last week.

pfas is a general term for long lasting chems,,

what specifically are they finding??

you will need to know that to know who is responsible for legal purposes,,

if youre in farm land and they find things specifically being used by nearby farmers you will know where to focus legal action,,

Sound advice thanks.

beings you have standing you should check the links I gave above or look into your local area for groups working to solve the problem,,

there may already be lawsuits in the works you can join to add numbers to the case,,

complaining on an anonymous chat line wont get you very far,,

While you are working on the legal aspect of your situation, you should consider installing a filter. There are filters out on the market that filter out this type of chemical.

Pfas....it doesn't get in there naturally. As citizens were going to band together and pursue justice.

Here in south eastern North Carolina we have PFAS in our water. Drinking it without some serious filters is not recommended.

The largest PFAS polluters are DuPont spinoff Chemours and 3M

Some of the pfas chemicals are the residue from seemingly innocuous things, fertilizer, fire suppression foam, storm runoff even has some. It is also a factor that groundwater is not static. All those factors, as well as others, make it difficult to prove exactly who the "polluters" are. It's probably clear if you live near a manufacturing facility or a dry cleaners. But it gets difficult to prove in court.
Meanwhile, it's best to install filters, or even a RO system. That's more important when you have young people using the water.
