PFAS Exceeds Recommended Allowance
Got a letter from the utility district today stating that the PFAS(forever chemicals) tested at 23.3 parts per trillion which exceeds the 20 PPT maximum recommended allowance.
Coincidently, I just posted in my "Funky Flakes" thread (it was gross) about flaky residue forming at the bottom of tap water-based drinks and/or drinks containing ice made with tap water, and it didn't seem to make any difference using a Pur filtration system. The two probably aren't related (but could be), but it's just another negative concerning the municipal water supply.
I haven't trusted the municipal water for a while, and now this. I use purified for most everything now. I use it for cooking, drinks, and ice. Even started giving the cats purified water recently. Still bathe using the city water though.
I caught my friend using the purified tap water during Thanksgiving Day prep, but even that isn't going to fly anymore. I need to tell them. No more tap water for consumption (filtered or otherwise), period.
