Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of thousands of man-made chemicals, including perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), that have been widely used in numerous consumer products.
In April 2024, the U.S. EPA announced a new national maximum contaminant level (mcl) for PFAS. In addition, the California Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment adopted a more stringent public health goal for these same substances.
DWA performs lab tests for potential contaminants like PFAS. DWA conducted a targeted analysis of its water wells and PFAS was not found at levels exceeding the maximum contaminant level in our retail service area. DWA is in compliance with all regulations and will complete additional testing as required.
