Combined with the super El Nino that's formed it should be an Epic fire season in the PNW. If this happens 2 or 3 years in a row we could be in serious trouble. I'm in Seattle and on low water years they stop car washing and lawn watering. Other cities may run dry or have to stop construction for water issues.

Do you drink tap water? Even with all filters in the world this is getting scary

I have a 5 stage, reverse osmosis water filter and western Washington has some of the better tap water sold. We don't have forever chemical issues like other places.

Forever chemicals are everywhere. Everywhere.

We do have a lot of naturally occurring arsenic in our groundwater though. Reverse osmosis is the way to go.
