A New Hampshire town finds out their water has been contaminated by a chemical. Their most basic question — whether the water is safe to drink — doesn’t have a clear answer.

  • Former Merrimack/Bedford resident with kidney cancer

    NHPR really knocked it out of the park with this one. I had to move to North Carolina for different medical care to learn that I had a fist sized tumor on my kidney. I’m so happy to have such interesting, quality reporting to send to friends and family who still live in the area. One friend who lives in Merrimack, just decided to get water filtration in her home because of this. She has two babies. It shouldn’t have taken my cancer and this podcast for her to know she needed to.

Q: How do you live with this?
I have to just move forward and not think about those things all the time, but that is my biggest worry that they, or even us, will be affected 10, 15 years down the road.
