Contra Costa County California 1997 I stayed there for a month - medical.
Contra Costa County Times Newspaper. Scandal. Huge. 25 cents per gallon water R/O machines were not filtering water table contamination from Fiberboard, DuPont, etc.
Home undersink R/O systems examined. Found to be useless. PCB's and selenium were listed as the biggest culprits. About 100x above FDA max.
Then the issue got tamped down.
I switched to distilled water.
THE BEST way to avoid problems is to refer to a professional lab test results. Chemical manufacturing, mining, and refining are the biggest risk areas.
Water districts supply data sheets. It's the law. In Mexico, our town has a well that produces domestic water with almost three times the safe level of lead. We get our consumable water 28 miles away. It is R/O OZONE. Test data was reviewed. we do not cook, drink, or even brush our teeth with local water.
