"Two public schools and a mobile home community are among six drinking water providers in the Philadelphia region that are currently out of compliance with Pennsylvania regulations for toxic PFAS chemicals.

The six water providers are among 22 statewide that fail to meet Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection requirements to reduce the so-called “forever chemicals” in drinking water, according to the agency.

More than 180 providers across the state continue to detect PFAS at levels above more restrictive federal regulations that go into effect in four years, according to DEP data analyzed by WHYY News."
