Don't we already filter municipal water and make sure all of this stuff is below some level of ppb?
Nope, not PFAS. Few places have filtration sufficient to address them, from my understanding.
Systems that were already using activated carbon or ion exchange for organics removal may have some treatment capacity, but otherwise the first systems specifically for treating drinking water are being designed and constructed now. There are contaminated sites that already have treatment or containment in place.
