More communities are finding toxic chemicals in their drinking water

Boston Globe 5/23/2021: More communities are finding toxic chemicals in their drinking water. In Wayland, local officials are distributing cases of bottled water to 1,400 households a week — nearly a third of the suburb’s residents — and may have to seek a new water source that could cost more than twice the town’s annual budget. Facing similar contamination in their drinking water, Natick officials plan to spend millions of dollars on a high-tech filtration system. In Wellesley, after shutting down the primary well that provided water to half their residents, officials are contemplating strict water-use limits for the first time.
