About
There are 15,000+/- manmade PFAS chemical compounds that have been identified, and the list keeps growing every year. Science has developed tests that can detect less than 100 of them in water, blood, food, etc. PFAS exists everywhere, in everyday consumer products from cookware, food packaging, clothing, carpet, cosmetics, cleaning products, dental floss, sticky notes, paint, cell phones and toilet paper just to name a few.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final rule regulating PFAS in drinking water. More information about sampling and calculating compliance is available on the EPA’s Final PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation: Monitoring and Reporting Fact Sheet (PDF).

Per the EPA's new rule, all water systems have until 2029 to come into compliance with the new limits, but it is the intent of the Water Utility to meet the PFAS limits sooner. There are no easy solutions, and every effort is being made to develop a plan that is the most economical and effective for the Utility's customers, as it has a direct tie to the water rates they pay.
