According to a recent USA TODAY article, new EPA data shows that several Greater Cincinnati water systems have PFAS levels above the federal limit established in 2024.

Kings Island’s water system measured 6.3 times the limit, Loveland 4 times, Indian Hill 2.9 times, Morrow 2.5 times, Batavia 2.3 times, Milford 2 times, Bethel 1.9 times, and the Cincinnati Public Water System 1.3 times. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are chemicals that break down slowly and are commonly found in water, soil, air, and various consumer products. Public water systems are required to monitor for PFAS and report any exceedances to the public. 8/21/2025
