Biden’s Radical New ‘Safe Water’ Rules Set to Cost Cities BILLIONS

Joe Biden’s EPA has drastically changed its rules for the amount of chemicals can be in drinking water, a move that will cost every city in every state millions to upgrade their filtration systems.

PFAS and PFOS are a class of 14,000 chemicals that unavoidably contaminate the drinking water of every municipality in the U.S. These chemicals are used in so many products that it would take days to read them all. From cookware, to clothing, to furniture, food wrappers, pizza boxes, and even firefighting foam, these chemicals are literally everywhere we turn in our daily lives.

These compounds are known as “forever chemicals” because they never break down and go away. Scientists have linked high concentrations of these chemicals to cancer, kidney disease, liver problems and birth defects.

While these chemicals are certainly bad in high doses, the EPA’s new regulation makes drastic demands on city water services by ending regulations that allows 70 parts per trillion of these chemicals in drinking water and replacing it with only 4 parts per trillion.

This new demand on filtration will cost every water service millions to invest in new filtration systems because currently no city in America has systems that can filter that successfully.

The new rules have cities on edge, according to Just the News:

Municipalities are expected to initiate lawsuits against PFAS producers, including the U.S. military, which uses firefighting foam at airports and training facilities, and chemical companies DuPont, Chemours and 3M, which use PFAS in hundreds of applications from non-stick cookware and rain gear to construction materials and packaging.

This is a radical change to be made all at once.

It is highly doubtful any city can meet the demands.
