Hi Guys! I am making my very first big investment and this is my first home purchase. I know entire Long Island’s Tap water is Polluted with cancerous substances, but I wanted to know is the area affected by Bethpage Plume? I tried to do so much research from past couple of days and cannot find anything stating that it is affected. The only news article I seen was dating back 2016, which says that the Hicksville isn’t affected from the plume -> https://patch.com/new-york/plainview...er-our-water-0
I will definitely be using 5 gallon Poland spring bottled water For drinking and cooking, but is the tap water safe for bathing, brushing teeth, and etc. I know there was a recent 1,4-Dioxane contamination in tap water, which the Hicksville district is currently taking care of it from the recent Gov Cuomo bill. My new house is located by Marvin Ave and S Broadway which is slightly touching the plume according to the plume map. How can I check where my water supply is coming from? And is there any whole house filter system I can use to remove the cancerous contaminates?

That's Hicksville water district, Hicksville Water District. The plume mainly went south towards plainedge etc. It did extend to the ares around the Hicksville LIRR. My mom used to work for a woman in Bethpage, she drank, cooked and showered in the water and lived to 96!
hicksville is right in the plume, you need to get as far away from long island that you can. NYC post corona virus is not a place to raise a family, NY is pretty much contaminated and its over all bad for your heath to live here.

But looking at the plume map it is showing slightly touching Hicksville and the water well is avoiding the plume :/
I grew up in Hicksville. Still ticking. You are going to get a wide range of opinion about the water from it's toxic to the best tap water I ever drank. Do what makes you comfortable living in your new home. Bethpage won best tasting water in NY like in 2006. LOL.

Yeah I understand lol but still I will buy bunch of 5 gallons Poland spring water each month and use it for drinking and cooking. I really want to take precaution since I do not want my family getting any sort of cancer in the future. Is there any sort of filter you would recommend me to buy for bathing or brushing teeth?
I personally don't have a home water filtration system but here are some systems people in my town have installed.
