- Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established regulations for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water, although these regulations do not apply to residential water wells. However, the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) recommends testing and treating water well systems for PFAS. The EPA is providing funding to assist states and territories in implementing PFAS testing and treatment. The EPA has also proposed including PFAS in the definition of hazardous waste and has added sites with groundwater contamination to the Superfund National Priorities List. Ohio has launched a program to eliminate PFAS in firefighting foam, and the EPA has formed a task force to protect water systems from cyber attacks. The EPA's website offers resources and guidance for safeguarding the water sector's infrastructure.
