- TeMPOraL 3y agoIf that's a result of some organization contaminating the local water supply, then I'd call it "secondary damage" and vote billing said org for it. Otherwise, you either live in an unusual location that makes any kind of water-related infrastructure projects very expensive - like, idk., a small settlement at a summit of a mountain, or in the middle of a desert - or something is very much broken about that place.
- eggy 3y agoDoesn't mean there are no PFAs in the bottled water. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/bottled-water/pfas-in-bottled-water-new-study-finds-a1111233122/ https://www.consumerreports.org/health/bottled-water/pfas-in...
- chrisdbanks 3y agoNo, true, but that's separate to the issue of PFAS in my drinking water making my house worthless. Presumably if there are PFAS is bottled water then everyone's water is contaminated as I'm not aware of anywhere people don't drink bottled water.
- revscat 3y ago> bottled water You do understand that that’s worse for you, right?
- chrisdbanks 3y agoYou're suggesting that bottled water is worse for me than non-drinking water from the tap? Billions of people in the world don't have access to clean drinking water. You're lucky if you do.
- y7 3y agoYes but you still use tap water for cooking I presume. And it's used for agriculture. So you'd still end up ingesting PFAS if the water supply is contaminated, since it does not break down with heat.
- chrisdbanks 3y agoI personally use bottled water for cooking. Agriculture mostly doesn't happen where my house is so is unrelated to the house price.
- red-iron-pine 3y agolol like there isn't PFAS in the plastic that houses that bottled water. esp. if it sat in the sun for a while, since plastics don't biodegrade they photodegrade.
- ROTMetro 3y agoDo you brush your teeth with bottled water? Do your kids?
- chrisdbanks 3y agoYes. In plenty of places people use bottled water even to brush their teeth.
- boycott-israel 3y agobro I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but your answers make it seem like you're living in a contaminated hellhole and terrified of contact with the local water it's not a good defense for indiscriminate contamination of water, if that's what you're trying for
- chrisdbanks 3y agoI'm not defending anything. Just saying that drinkable tap water doesn't exist in many countries, bro. And many people don't even have taps.
