Why Galesburg residents are getting a notice about a ‘forever chemical’ in raw water from unused wells

Residents in Galesburg, Illinois, are receiving a notice from the IEPA regarding elevated levels of PFOS in raw water from three unused city wells, with samples showing 15 ppt and 4.7 ppt, exceeding the state's groundwater standard of 4 ppt. While PFOS in finished water meets standards, finished water delivered to homes still exceeds the state standard for PFOA at 5.9 ppt, unchanged from 2025 sampling. The city plans to retire the affected wells, use one only for emergencies, and construct new, PFAS-free wells, aiming for compliance ahead of the 2029 deadline. Update (watereport.com, 12.09.2026, 21:25): A boil water advisory is in effect, advising residents to boil water for at least 3 minutes before drinking or using for consumption.

Tucson completes major expansion to treat forever chemicals

Tucson Water hat ein 25 Millionen US-Dollar teures Erweiterungsprojekt in der Tucson Airport Remediation Project (TARP) Anlage abgeschlossen, um per- und polyfluorierte Alkylsubstanzen (PFAS) zu behandeln. Diese Maßnahme adressiert eine langjährige Kontamination: Über die letzte Dekade wurden 30 von etwa 40 betroffenen Brunnen aufgrund von PFAS-Detektionen stillgelegt oder in Notbereitschaft versetzt, und die TARP-Anlage selbst wurde 2021 vorübergehend geschlossen, wodurch behandeltes Wasser aus der Trinkwasserversorgung genommen wurde. Die Erweiterung zielt darauf ab, kritische lokale Grundwasserressourcen zu schützen und wiederherzustellen, um zukünftig potenziell behandeltes Wasser wieder ins Trinkwassersystem einzuspeisen. Update (tucsondailybrief.com, 04.09.2026, 23:25): The expanded facility on Tucson's west side also treats Trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination and completes the Tucson Airport Remediation Project. Funding for this expansion was provided by the American Rescue Plan Act.

Die U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hat die Frist für öffentliche Kommentare zu ihrem vorgeschlagenen aktualisierten Grundwasserreinigungsplan am Hopewell Precision Superfund-Standort in Dutchess County, New York, bis zum 28. September 2026 verlängert. Der Standort war zuvor mit flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOCs) kontaminiert, was zur Anbindung betroffener Haushalte an die öffentliche Wasserversorgung führte. Der Plan beinhaltet weiterhin Grundwasserüberwachung und Maßnahmen zur Verhinderung der Exposition gegenüber kontaminiertem Grundwasser, einschließlich der Begrenzung der Nutzung nicht-kommunaler Wasserquellen und der Anordnung von Tests für private Wasserquellen außerhalb des kommunalen Systems.
