It would really be nice to try all that great-sounding food, if I knew it wasn’t prepared with Sanford’s polluted tap water.
And no, the planned charcoal filters are not going to fix the problem. It didn’t eliminate the PFAS from Pittsboro’s water, and it’s not going to work in Sanford either.
Only reverse osmosis removes PFAS from water.
You have had your water tested I presume and can tell us what level of PFAS contaminants are present in our tap water.
Yes, there are over a dozen different PFAS chemicals in Sanford water (that the city tests for) plus something called dioxane. Levels many hundreds of times higher than the EPA recommended lifetime exposure limits. It’s all public knowledge available online from the water utility.
