Loveland, Ohio – Loveland’s drinking water is contaminated with harmful levels of Forever Chemicals at the highest concentrations in the region. Testing has revealed that Loveland has two “Forever Chemicals” in its drinking water. One, at a level four times higher than what is the enforceable standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This is the highest reported level in the Cincinnati area. The US EPA has acknowledged that no levels of PFAS are safe without the risk of negative health impacts.
The City simultaneously told the Clermont County Common Pleas Court and a U.S District Court in South Carolina in June of 2023:
“PFOA and PFOS are toxic and persistent in the environment, do not biodegrade, move readily through soil and water, and pose a significant risk to human health and safety and the environment.”
