Federal PFAS Recap
On March 14, 2023, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
announced the proposed National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for six
per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
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.
