Every house in my area has reverse osmosis water treatment, since you can't filter out PFAS. Renters are less lucky and have to install their own system, if they can even afford it. Everyone who uses the river as the primary water source is in the same boat, and the company upstream keeps dumping it in the river.

There will always be parts of your diet from a farm within a few miles of a building where they tested a PFAS fire extinguisher.
- LinuxBender 5y agoSame here in my area. For what its worth one can buy a portable RO system. I found one on Amazon that is decent. I first run my well water through a Britta filter to take most of the sediment and calcium out or the SimPure RO plugs up within 15 gallons. The house has no filter yet The Britta filters last for about 20 gallons each on my water. This allows my RO filters to work for about 300 gallons. My long term plan is to rip the giant pressure tank out of the underground well room and put in stainless steel tanks and many fine filters, charcoal, UV, etc... and one drill pump and small pressure tank per house so that I have reserve water when the underground pump fails and a way to fill the reserve tanks from a truck.
