PFAS Education

Sweetwater Authority is committed to keeping you informed about our ongoing efforts to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) detected in Sweetwater Reservoir. Since the discovery, we’ve made significant progress, including completing a full year of required PFAS testing, establishing a PFAS Mitigation Fund using settlement dollars, conducting extensive community outreach, and hiring technical experts and partners to evaluate long-term treatment options.

To help keep our community updated, we’ve expanded our PFAS Education webpage as your go-to resource for the latest information. Here, you’ll find testing results, updates on our long-term treatment planning, details about our pilot study and information on regulatory developments.

As we continue moving forward, our next steps include pursuing additional PFAS mitigation funding, developing preliminary designs for a long-term treatment solution, preparing cost estimates and completing final design for a facility.

Clear, accurate information is essential to building trust, and we remain committed to full transparency throughout this process. We encourage you to check back regularly for updates and sign up for notifications to stay informed about our progress. Your health and safety remain our top priority.
