Water Filters Installed in Private Wells Labeled Not Safe for Consumption in Hoosick Falls
A Department of Environmental Conservation contractor recently installed filters in private wells in Hoosick Falls that were intended to eliminate PFOA, which is a chemical linked to causing cancer. However, these filters were labeled with a warning, saying the product is known “to cause cancer and birth defects.”
In addition, the label states that the water filter is illegal to use in the United States for human consumption, which is the main purpose of the private wells in Hoosick Falls.
The Department of Environmental Conservation made the following statement regarding this error:
“A supplier incorrectly shipped one box of valves that are not to be used with drinking water to a contractor. Immediately upon discovery late last night, DEC began tracking down the incorrect valves so they can be replaced. DEC terminated the companies responsible for the error. However, homeowners still continue to be advised not to drink or use water from the filtration systems until the state advises them that it is acceptable for all uses, so these systems were not used.”
The DEC also stated that it is unsure of how many incorrect water filters were installed.
If you have had a filter installed recently, please check the label to make sure it is not marked unsafe for consumption.
