Does that mean that they just have to tell people that the levels are too high but don't have to do anything about it? Basically just "sorry, your drinking water isn't safe; oh well"?
- defrost 3y ago> Does that mean If by "that" you refer to "Three other types that include GenEx Chemicals that are a major problem in North Carolina are limited to 10 parts per trillion. Water providers will have to test for these PFAS chemicals and tell the public when levels are too high." then "they" (the water providers that detect high levels of any of the three sub types that are not strictly limited) will be obliged to advise customers. > Basically just "sorry, your drinking water isn't safe; oh well"? that the water supplied has levels of not strictly limited inclusion exceeding notification level, yes. Whether the customers are drinking that water and whether the level past notification is unsafe is unknown to myself. This interpretation is, of course, based on my reading of The Guardian reporting, the actual obligations, precise chemical variations, toxicologies, etc, can probably be found as an exercise for concerned readers by looking up the actual rulings and referenced papers.
