The subject of national attention due to concerns about potential health impacts, PFAS is a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used for decades in industry and consumer goods. As part of our steadfast commitment to providing reliable, high-quality drinking water, we want you to know what we do to safeguard our water supply from PFAS pollution. We are following and participating in policy and scientific research regarding PFAS, and remain confident in the safety of our high-quality tap water.
While PFAS pollution is common in the environment due to its use in a large range of products, the RWA's environmental protection efforts have successfully limited the impact these chemicals have on our water sources.
The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) has established an advisory level for PFAS of 70 parts per trillion (ppt). Any presence of PFAS found in our proactive testing is well below the current advisory level. You can read more about how DPH arrived at this target for healthy drinking water by reviewing this page on their website.
While DPH does not currently require that utilities test for PFAS or make results public, the RWA proactively tested all of our sources of supply. While we detected low levels of PFAS, we are continuing to work with local health departments, state agencies and our own internal experts to investigate environmental and treatment strategies that will remove additional PFAS from our high-quality water supply.
Regional Water Authority PFAS Sampling Result Data - 2020
Our PFAS testing measures in parts per trillion, which is an amount roughly equivalent to one droplet of water in a 43-foot-deep pool covering a football field.
In accordance with current Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) recommendations, totals include PFAS compounds measured at levels greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s reporting limit of two parts per trillion.
