Water and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
PFAS are a group of 1,000+ man-made chemicals. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. These chemicals are widespread and very persistent in the environment, and water and wastewater treatment processes are not effective at removing these compounds from water supplies at this time.
Fortunately, no PFAS were detected in the City's finished or raw (untreated) water supplies in 2022 and customers do not need to be concerned.
