Managing PFAS: A North Carolina Utility Story

摘要

Key Takeaways Comprehensive, year-round sampling of Cape Fear Public Utility Authority's raw water for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) justified the need for PFAS treatment in conjunction with improved upstream point source control. Site-specific pilot testing of different PFAS treatment technologies should be conducted to help identify the most effective treatment solutions based on local conditions. Communication strategies should be based on transparency, willingness to engage customers, and consistent messages, along with public advocacy for vigilant, consistently applied regulation.
