  8. 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.
