An article updated one day ago brings up possible problems here in Mesa where 2 Master-Planned Communities, Eastmark and Cadence @ Gateway are located.
Other expansion of residential areas around former WW2 base Falcon Field may also be part of issues that are raised in this reporting.
Sites that the City of Mesa uses to monitor water quality might not provide the information that is needed to measure contaminants in the soil, where the testing for these PSFAs are not currently required.
"There are lots of places where this is a problem,” said Congressman Dan Kildee, a Democrat from Michigan. “And there are lots of places where it’s a problem, and the people don’t even know it yet.”

Familiar scenario??? here in Mesa at a "Master-Planned Community"
A community works to bounce back
Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, bears little resemblance to the abandoned landscapes at other closed bases. Before the base closed in the spring of 1991, the state of New Hampshire had already created a redevelopment plan to replace the former base with a business park.
Here's the City of Mesa's Plan for Falcon Field
Pease was the first military base to discover PFAS in the local drinking water. Three drinking water wells serving the entire tradeport tested positive for PFAS, and one in particular tested at levels more than 12.5 times above the EPA provisional health advisory.
