Public Water Systems Finally Get Federal Help With PFAS

摘要

An estimated 200 million Americans may have PFAS-contaminated drinking water, and state and municipal water systems will get help from the federal government cleaning it up underthe Infrastructure and Jobs Act, says David K. McCay, chair of Mirick O’Connell’s litigation department. But more funding is needed, and many systems will continue trying to get it throughlawsuits against companies that released the chemicals, and from ratepayers, he says.
