I had the water from my house tested, it had 3x the current EPA limit of PFAS and it's associated chemicals present. I informed my local water utility, and they said that they were currently testing, per EPA mandates, exclusively at the Water treatment facility. With zero testing being undertaken at the point of use.

So, they test the water right as it comes out of the water treatment process, and then ignore any results from where the water is used after it traverses miles of underground pipes, that, surprise, are all heavily contaminated by industry.

Chemours, Dupont, 3M. They've poisoned all of us, and they knew they were doing it since the 70's.

My friendly neighbors at the factory told me I didn't need to worry about this, though. They seemed nice.
