We strongly recommend that all of our supporters listen to this show as we all drink the water! Thank you to Representative Jim McConnell for calling in to the show.
"Last spring, the chemical PFOA was found in unusually high levels in wells in Southern New Hampshire, and, before that, on the Seacoast. Since then, the state has allocated millions to study and fix these sites, but critics worry the guidelines for contaminated water, and the work being done, aren't enough.
