Spokane County has less than a year to use funding from the Washington State Legislature to provide water filtration systems for homeowners on Spokane's West Plains affected by the PFAS water contamination. But how will they decide who qualifies and who will get help first? And what happens when the money runs out?

 

John Hancock, president of the West Plains Water Coalition, sits on a new West Plains PFAS Task Force convened to answer those questions. He joins us on the At Issue Podcast to talk about their progress and next steps for homeowners who still don't have safe drinking water.
