“Dark Waters,” a new legal thriller opening in local theaters this weekend, features Mark Ruffalo as a dogged attorney who links unexplained deaths in a West Virginia town to water supply contamination by DuPont Chemical. The chemicals at issue are known as PFAS, and are found in many consumer products. Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities routinely tests our source waters for potential contaminants, and our sampling has not detected PFAS. Protecting public health is our first priority and we will always provide the highest-quality water.
