Sweetwater Authority is committed to keeping you informed regarding recent water quality testing that found per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, in Sweetwater Reservoir. PFAS are man-made chemicals found in common household items that can make their way into water sources. PFAS is a widespread issue that water providers globally are working to address due to its prevalence in society.

As we navigate short and long term solutions to this complex issue, we’ve established the PFAS Education webpage to serve as your go-to resource for the latest information on PFAS, including our ongoing testing results, (quarterly testing and transfer data) mitigation efforts, and regulatory updates. We are committed to maintaining full transparency by regularly updating this page with new information as it becomes available.

We know that clear, accurate information is essential to building trust and confidence. That’s why we encourage you to check back frequently for updates and sign up for notifications to stay informed about our progress and initiatives. Your health and safety are our top priority, and we are dedicated to keeping you informed every step of the way.
