The PFAS challenge: How water systems can stay ahead

It’s a year since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized national drinking water standards for PFAS – but the regulatory landscape continues to evolve. The new administration is expected to revisit the rule, while interest also turns to wastewater and biosolids. At the same time, new technologies are changing how we identify and treat PFAS. How should water systems respond to this fast-moving challenge? In this webinar we unpack the current PFAS landscape, including regulations, risk-based treatment approaches and considerations for biosolids management. We’ll also hear American Water’s approach to PFAS from their experience serving communities in 14 U.S. states. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the PFAS challenge.
