Thousands of West Virginians are exposed to dangerous contaminants like PFAS each day through their drinking water.
Last year, a report from the United States Geological Survey showed the results from 279 West Virginia water systems tested for PFAS in source water, half of which had worrisome levels of contamination.
In a follow-up study of the 37 most concerning systems, 27 were found to have detectable levels of PFAS in their finished drinking water—and 19 of those water systems are over the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed drinking water standards.
Thankfully, the EPA has proposed drinking water standards for six PFAS to establish legally enforceable limits in our drinking water to hold polluters accountable.
Every person deserves access to clean and safe water, free from toxic chemicals that have adverse human health impacts.
Before the comment deadline closes on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, contact the EPA to let government officials know that you support proposed drinking water standards.
