yes I know, the well water at our home was tested in late 2020 for PFAS and was negative. There is a PFAS sampling map for around the contaminated area. Ours was not tested by the state, but you can get a test yourself (it’s expensive, and takes a long time). Furthermore, none of the houses closest to us that were tested by the state for PFAS were contaminated.

I’m not saying things can’t change, water flows but I also don’t trust bottled water, it sits in plastic and not actually that well regulated (including PFAS). Plus its wasteful. you do you, but unfortunately with the way things are, there isn’t a perfect solution.

Buying a house with a well in Hillsborough County and the water test came back with no issues whatsoever; everything was either incredibly low and the really bad stuff was not detected. It’s also very soft water, which will be something new for us as everywhere we’ve lived across the country and overseas had varying levels of hard water, to include Arizona where I swear the water came out of the tap as mineralized chunks with some water embedded in them (exaggeration, but not by much!). We’re still planning on putting an RO filter on it as an extra safety measure just to avoid any potential issues.

It’s been recommended by everyone (the water testing company was silent on the issue) that we still get our water tested annually even though our test came back with the same results as the current owner’s test in 2016.
