So we have a regulation since October of 2020 [!] in the EU that says that water distributors ("Wasserversorger") have to check how much PFAS is in the water and cope with it if it's too much. This reminds me that I had a notice from my landlord at the start of corona that I shouldn't use the shower because they noticed that the threshold of legionella in the water was a little too high (which was especially annoying because falling ill with Legionnaires' disease would mean similar symptoms to covid-19).
- lnsru 5y agoYour landlord should be reported and get nice visit from local Gesundheitsamt. It’s no big deal to prepare water with higher temperature and avoid this issue.
- Enginerrrd 5y agoThat's not necessarily true. It can be non-trivial to get the heat specification right at all end points in the distribution pipeline.
