UPDATED: Municipal Water Tainted With "Forever" Chemical

 

min 1 - 1:40 great intro even without video picture

min 1:40 - 4:15 boring chemistry discussion

min 4:15 starting of a very interesting discussion 

Toxic "forever chemical," (PFOS) is explained.  In Redmond wells #1 and #2 it is elevated above State standards .  (See table.)

The City is monitoring PFOS and related forever chemicals quarterly.  Monitoring started on April 2024.  Elevated PFOS levels above Federal standards are in boldface. This table was published in the 2/3/2026 Redmond Council study session packet. 

Reverse osmosis filters, remove ~ 94% of the contaminants. Amazon sells them.
