Statement Regarding PFAS (Forever Chemicals)
The recent media coverage regarding PFAS (forever chemicals) in drinking water and other items that we use every day, like nonstick cookware, personal products and cosmetics, has been a cause for concern for customers.
Currently, the Pennsylvania DEP regulations for acceptable limits of PFAS in drinking water are 14 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and 18 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOS. The federal EPA is proposing a limit of 4 ppt for both PFOA and PFOS. NPWA drinking water meets this criteria.
