New Regulations to Remove PFAS Deposited into the Water System by Manufacturers



The South Granville Water & Sewer Authority has been long engaged in an aggressive approach to research mitigation options and secure funding that will offset the financial impact of PFAS removal systems to meet the recent EPA changes.


SGWASA has partnered with environmental and engineering experts to design and build state-of-the-art PFAS removal systems. The Authority is now moving towards the next phase of its PFAS Elimination project and provided details at the recent September and October Board meetings.
