The State of California and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are implementing new regulations to address PFAs in drinking water. Recent state and federal regulatory changes require water providers, including Sweetwater Authority, to increase monitoring efforts by 2027 and comply with new standards by 2029. Sweetwater Authority is committed to transparency and solutions to ensure safe drinking water for its customers.
