NAWC’s Position and Actions Related to PFOA/PFOS Chemicals Regulation
Philadelphia, Pa (June 18, 2020) – The National Association of Water Companies recently filed comments with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding setting federal limits for some PFAS chemicals. PFAS is a group of manmade chemicals that include PFOA, PFOS among thousands of others. These comments are consistent with the position NAWC first articulated a year ago and elaborate on our call for regulation.
NAWC remains deeply committed to ensuring that water utilities are on the front lines of helping communities deal with the problem of “forever chemicals.” For more information on our efforts and advocacy related to the regulation, prevention and remediation of PFAS chemicals, please visit the resources compiled below:
