That means nearly half of us might be consuming PFAS through our drinking water every day.

It requires public drinking water systems nationwide to test their water for several PFAS compounds and take action if levels of those chemicals rise above prescribed limits. The EPA estimates that between 6 and 10 percent of the 66,000 public drinking water systems in the U.S. will find PFAS once they start testing. Utilities have five years to comply with the new rule.   Before the new rule, PFAS testing was required in only a limited number of jurisdictions. As of 2022, at least eight states had enacted legislation requiring monitoring of PFAS in public water systems, according to the [National Conference of State Legislatures](https://www.ncsl.org/environment-and-natural-resources/per-and-polyfluoroalkyl-substances#:~:text=These%20states%20include%20Alaska%2C%20Arizona,Island%2C%20Vermont%20and%20West%20Virginia.).   Water utilities are already required to test their water for other regulated contaminants and share those results annually with the public in a consumer confidence report (CCR). You can obtain a copy of this water-quality report from your water supplier. You might also find the CCR on the water supplier’s website or by using the [EPA’s search tool](https://ofmpub.epa.gov/apex/safewater/f?p=136:102). If you rent, ask your landlord or building manager, or contact your utility company directly for the report.   ## Can a Water Filter Remove PFAS?   If your water test report indicates the presence of PFAS, or if you just want some peace of mind, a home water filter can be worth considering.    Well good news for you!
