California mobile home park residents face persistent PFAS water contamination
[Residents of the Friendly Acres mobile home park in Red Bluff] learned in March that their well water had high levels of PFAS. Those are chemicals used to make everything from nonstick cookware to water-resistant clothing to cleaning products. Officials from the California State Water Resources Control Board held a meeting for tenants that month, warning them about the contamination and providing bottled water. Kimberlee says that meeting was the first time she had ever heard about PFAS. That’s despite Friendly Acres having high levels for at least four years, according to public data.
