This is literally my career. Google “environmental lab” although these labs have EPA certifications, they aren’t doing the EPA’s bidding. You can call any of these labs and I know Ohio has literally a list of them. Ask for pricing too. It’s not cheap. This is where your water utility debt has 3rd party lab testing performed for water quality. They might not be set up to specifically test for vinyl chloride but they will tell you what they can do. pH measurements of water are cheap and common.
Rooftop, i am within 40 miles of this, In Deerfield Ohio. I havent been as concerned due to having a deepwater well and being upwind, however, if theres a way i could help please message me.
If you could get a sample of the water in Berlin lake, I'd be very interested personally. I would like to get a sample from meander reservoir myself if I can find the time
If you are on a higher topographic area then there shouldn't be a concern about the contaminated water reaching your neck of the woods.
But for those at a similar or lower elevation they should take it more seriously. The way water moves underground is much slower and at larger distances but it is possible that contaminated water could be an issue.

Uh, Berlin has always been garbage water. I surely hope kids dont go swimming in it this summer because it is going to be royally bad this year.

Stand by anon. Your expertise in this area will be needed dearly over the coming days and months.
Berkey's are designed to remove larger contaminants not the very small contaminants.
That is the problem.
Maybe a water distiller & then add minerals/electrolytes?
Not sure if they would cause fumes though.
I would not trust it in this case.
