DON’T DRINK THE WATER IN THIS STATE UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT CANCER

Environmentalist taking sample of Illinois polluted water

 If you drink water you will want to hear this. In Illinois for years government officials have known about contaminated drinking water, and until recently have done nothing about it.

With all of the water scandals in Illinois and US history, most notably in Flint Michigan there is healthy reason to doubt official sources on water safety. In Illinois, for years, people have questioned whether or not their drinking water is safe. Now finally some answers are starting to come out about it, and Illinoisans are not happy about it.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency did not begin testing the state’s water utilities for the presence of “forever chemicals” until August 2020, despite numerous warning signs that the drinking water in Illinois is tainted with “forever chemicals” that can cause cancer and other diseases for years.

According To the Chicago Tribune. Last year, Congress set aside $10 billion for PFAS-related loans and grants. A few municipal utilities are already applying for low-interest, taxpayer-financed loans through the same program Freeport is relying on to remove contaminated water from the city.


As it seems in most cases that there are problems in communities across the country that need to be addressed immediately for public safety concerns. For obvious reasons the local, state, and federal governments don’t want the public to know about these issues, that is until there is money involved.
