It would be cheaper and more effective to buy each house and apartments a water filter. It’s ridiculous to expect your shower water, bath water, dish washing water etc to be super pure.
What bugs me lots more is water fluoridation. Bad for your thyroid!
Do filters remove PFAS?
Ah...you answered my question...
there’s a little area of St. Pete Fla where many people get cancer and die young.
I don’t believe these environmental wackos. Sorry.
Some funds are available to help utilities. Manufacturer 3M recently agreed to pay more than $10 billion to drinking water providers to settle PFAS litigation.
Everyone wants clean water. But people wonder why manufacturing and related jobs have fled to China, Vietnam and other places....
The real purpose of the article.
Who does that?!
Likely in St Pete that is the LGBT zone. Dying from lots of non-Godly things.

I have never used the tap water at my house for drinking or cooking, from day one nearly 40 years ago. When we first opened the tap I could smell chlorine and determined if the water was so bad they had to put that much chlorine in it then we’re not drinking it or using it in cooking.
You wil notice in the interactive map that the water for Manhattan (New York City) is OK. Itb is not “local” water. It comes from many miles upstate from an area where industrial development is kept out. Huge water tunnels bring the water many miles down into New York City.
If these are forever chemicals, it looks like the water in my town will keep me alive forever. :-(
My wife’s cooking has to be toxic, but she was the best looking woman in town. Whoopse
