Based upon preliminary estimates, American Water believes an investment in excess of $1 billion of capital to install additional treatment facilities over a 3 to 5-year period could be possible in order to comply with the rule as proposed. We also believe operating expenses related to testing and treatment could be near $50 million annually. American Water is currently part of Multi-District Litigation against multiple PFAS manufacturers because we firmly believe that the ultimate responsibility for the cleanup of these contaminants should fall to the polluters.
