## Resource

Dakota County, Minnesota, has revealed alarming PFAS contamination in over 100 private wells, with levels exceeding safety guidelines in many cases. To empower residents, they’ve launched an easy-to-use online dashboard showing PFAS levels in local wells — making critical health data instantly accessible. One homeowner found her well contaminated but was protected by a filtration system, while officials recommend affordable carbon filters for others. Meanwhile, 20 public water systems statewide also face PFAS issues, with crews actively tracing underground sources. Though public water is regulated, private well owners bear the burden of monitoring and treatment. County data is now shared with state agencies as part of a broader push to curb PFAS pollution — including a state law targeting non-essential PFAS use by 2032.
