PFAS As Hazardous Waste: Should Water And Wastewater Utilities Be Worried?

After years of discussion, the EPA recently announced a proposal that would classify nine PFAS as hazardous waste. The new rules, once finalized, will not only require removing all detectable traces of some PFAS, but are also poised to affect a number of aspects of water treatment plant and even wastewater treatment plant operations.

Top Municipal Water Treatment Methods: Transforming Water Quality For Environmental Compliance

Water supplies in the U.S. are among the safest in the world. According to the CDC, more than 90% of Americans get tap water from community water systems, which must adhere to strict water quality standards. However, just because the U.S. has safer water supplies than other parts of the world doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement and better municipal water treatment methods and solutions.
