Mind boggling stuff.

 Chemours got busted for dumping chemicals into the Cape Fear river. Where I live we use a well (the water sucks, so I drink bottled), so I didn't think it affected us.
Apparently Chemours had to test our water and it had miniscule amounts of pfa in it. They said they would bring us some water and supply us with vouchers to buy more. Cool, they would give me a couple of cases of water.

60 gallons of water are sitting on my porch. 60 gallon jugs. And then a debit card that renews monthly to buy more.

So in other words, here's a BUNCH of water, sir. Please don't sue us. And ... it ain't going to be better for a long, long time.

Well, they only have to purify one river...

Install an under sink RO system.

And yes, it stinks, but it's been here a LONG time, no clue what the long term effects are, but there's a LOT of people here that have never drank bottled water.

The chemicals are in a couple of the largest ground water aquifers in the state as well
