Do we remove PFAS during treatment?

Where PFAS (per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances) concentrations are above the DWI guidance value, they can be removed from water at varying rates using granular activated carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), ion exchange and reverse osmosis membranes.

Water companies are working together to understand other available treatment technologies and advance innovative treatment solutions. Water supplies can also be managed, and concentrations can be diluted through blending water.
