Maybe you should stay where you are and the water is pure. Without even looking at the number of posts before I read the OP, I knew it would be a single digit.

Residents and officials of an east-central Florida county are raising the alarm over a potential link between increased cases of cancer in young people and chemicals detected in the groundwater of a nearby Air Force base.

Chemicals, including perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and/or perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which are used to extinguish aircraft fires and known to cause cancer, were detected in groundwater at Florida's Patrick Air Force Base and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, according to a U.S. Department of Defense report released in March.

What is currently going on with the real estate market in Brevard?

One would think that the government is supposed to take care of things like these. It wasn't until enough people were getting cancer and noticing a cancer cluster in their community that any action was taken. So sad. Even more sad is the attitude by those deniers on this forum who insist that everything is fine. I have a middle-aged relative in Miami with cancer and so far no one knows how they got it, it is fine if you don't care but please spare me the lecture about everything being fine.

Those replies just confirmed my original post about the Florida mentality. Just the simple taste of tap water alone is a giant red flag something is wrong. The only thing they got right is you should not consider moving here when you have concerns over the drinking water. It's not going to improve.
