PFAS

As many as 50 private water wells in the Woodville area could have pollution levels that exceed government standards.

Two elected officials are promising to do more testing and to promote the use of effective water filtering to eliminate any risk.

Water utility reports reveal 89.3 million people have been exposed to PFAS nationwide. A peer-reviewed article from 2020 estimates that number to be around 200 million.

The Miami area has the highest documented levels of PFAS chemicals in drinking water in Florida.
