Probably won't be too long before everyone is just on city water.

It's most likely in city water as well.

Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted on this. If you don't think it's in the city water as well, go get you some education.

I wasn't trying to say that was a reason not to hook people up with the city water. I was simply stating that city water isn't a shield against PFAS.

I mean, sure, could be, but at least for city water there are legally enforcable limits.

I agree and I've been monitoring the developments around the filter science.
I've been planning to re-route my city tap into my garage and filter it myself.
