Hundreds of residents of Kunia Village have finally been given the all-clear to resume drinking their tap water after two wells that supplied their potable water tested positive for chemicals called PFAS earlier this year.
Long-term exposure to the contaminants referred to as “forever chemicals” can lead to an increased risk of certain cancers, among other health problems.
In January, the state Department of Health announced that chemicals known as PFAS, an acronym for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, had been detected in water samples collected from a well that supplies drinking water to the community.
