Reply to comment by joeys4282 in Healey should give rural Massachusetts a seat at the table - The Boston Globe by GlobeOpinion

Do you have a link you can share that would let me read more on this water issue? We're a town over from Westminster and I haven't heard about this (though tbf I don't take any steps to stay informed on things in this region).

Look up Westminster PFAS these are the only article I can find you don’t really have to pay for. PS- this PFAS problem is pressing in this state and the legislature has chosen to allow there citizens to get exposed to cancer causing agents instead of spending the money that it needs to in order to fix the problem.

We got independent testing done by a lab in Leominster.

Our level of aluminum is 7x higher than the max EPA limit.

We're shopping RO systems now.
