Summary
Hamilton’s tap water now shows elevated levels of PFAS chemicals—PFOS at 3.5 ng/L and PFOA at 2.4 ng/L—above the EPA’s recommended safety threshold of 2 ng/L, though still below the legal limit. The city isn’t declaring an emergency or calling the water unsafe for general use, but warns boiling won’t help and could worsen contamination. Vulnerable groups—including infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with liver disease—are urged to use alternative water sources for drinking and food prep. Officials are closely monitoring the situation, committed to transparency and ongoing testing, with updates as new data emerges.
