Aqua Pennsylvania Secures $74M for PFAS Removal

Aqua Pennsylvania has been awarded over $74 million in funding from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) to support its efforts in removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water. This funding is part of a broader initiative aimed at addressing water quality issues associated with PFAS contamination.

The financial support will enable Aqua Pennsylvania to implement advanced treatment technologies and infrastructure improvements necessary for effectively reducing PFAS levels in its water supply. This initiative is critical as PFAS compounds have been linked to various health risks, prompting increased regulatory scrutiny and public concern.

The funding represents a significant investment in public health and environmental safety, ensuring that residents have access to clean and safe drinking water. Aqua Pennsylvania’s commitment to tackling PFAS contamination aligns with state and federal efforts to enhance water quality standards.
