  1. Addressing PFAS Contamination In Cape Fear's Source Water: Calgon Carbon's Solution 11/13/2025

    The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) provides drinking water to more than 200,000 residents in the Wilmington, North Carolina area. In 2017, the community learned that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS as they are more commonly referred, were contaminating CFPUA’s drinking water source. This led CFPUA to partner with Calgon Carbon to install Filtrasorb® granular activated carbon (GAC) to remove PFAS from the water at their Sweeney Water Treatment Plant. With this GAC addition, PFAS concentrations were reduced to levels at or near non-detection.

  3. Navigate PFAS With Confidence: Your Complete Guide To Mitigation Solutions 11/12/2025

    Xylem’s comprehensive PFAS Resource Guide is designed to help municipal and industrial water producers navigate the complex landscape of PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) mitigation. With the EPA’s April 2024 release of the first-ever national, legally enforceable drinking water standard for PFAS—and upcoming compliance deadlines in 2027 and 2029—utilities face increasing pressure to understand and address these persistent contaminants. PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in everyday products that resist degradation and pose risks to water quality and public health.

    The guide consolidates Xylem’s extensive experience and solutions in treating PFAS and emerging contaminants. It features infographics, case studies, videos, webinars, and product information—such as the newly launched MitiGATOR™ mobile unit—to support utilities from initial detection through treatment implementation. Whether for emergency response, pilot testing, or long-term remediation, the guide offers a clear path to achieving non-detect levels of PFAS in source water.

    Xylem’s PFAS Resource Guide helps utilities:

    • Understand PFAS contamination and the implications of new EPA regulations. 
    • Navigate compliance timelines: 
      • April 2024: EPA standard released
      • April 2027: Monitoring and notification requirements
      • April 2029: Treatment solution installations
    • Identify treatment options for PFAS and other emerging contaminants. 
    • Access proven solutions, including mobile, emergency, and permanent systems. 
    • Explore new technologies, such as the MitiGATOR™ mobile unit for potable water. 
    • Review real-world case studies and testimonials from successful PFAS mitigation projects. 
    • Engage with educational content, including webinars and videos tailored to PFAS challenges. 
    • Save time researching by accessing a curated, categorized listing of resources in one
