Safe to Drink

Safe to Drink

A New Hampshire town finds out their water has been contaminated by a chemical. Their most basic question ? whether the water is safe to drink ? doesn?t have a clear answer. Nobody seems to know much about this so-called forever chemical, which is weird because? this has all happened before. From the Document team at New Hampshire Public Radio, Safe to Drink is a four-part series about the water contamination story that keeps repeating in town after town ? and about the people who fought for answers through a maze of chemistry, regulations, and illnesses.
