What scared me most about writing The Plymouth Independent article on protecting Plymouth’s precious water supply:

- Hearing about the nation’s influx of harmful PFAS chemicals, found in virtually everything.
Yet, while helping me distill the original, complicated and contentious story into something readable, I knew my excellent editor would understably strike this paragraph:
“The state Department of Environmental Protection’s water-quality findings for Plymouth (while passing) plus all the national publicity around harmful PFAS forever chemicals – were enough for this reporter to purchase a home reverse-osmosis water filtration system.”
Read the final story: The town’s water supply is fragile. Is enough being done to protect it? – Plymouth Independent
