The two links included below show the distribution of PFAs in tapwater in the US. The map in the first is interactive for your specific area and the map in the second link is a quick overall view.
We have seen over time that, as we learn more about the human health consequences of these chemicals, we find they pose greater and greater risks.
Our government moves slowly and several states have begun to take action in initiating new regulations, not waiting for the EPA.
Below (top link) is a USGS interactive dashboard concerning Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) in drinking water throughout the country. The bottom link (I sent to you before( is a USGS report of PFAS occurrence.
