Key Water Concerns in Wayne
- Lead in service lines: Up to 6.8% of homes have lead service pipes, and recent sampling showed the 90th percentile at 16 ppb, exceeding the 15 ppb action level—triggering outreach and line replacement efforts (waynewaterdistricts.com).
- PFAS exposure: Public and private wells are increasingly tested due to PFAS risks near fire-training areas; home filters and reverse osmosis systems offer effective protection (The Keystone Newsroom).
- Disinfection byproducts (TTHMs): EWG reports significant elevations in bromodichloromethane and chloroform—33x and 55x over health guidelines (EWG).
- Broad contaminant risk: Hard water, VOCs, microplastics, and heavy metals may not be fully tested in municipal reports—expert filtration is recommended .
