The Blue Mountains PFAS Discovery
In Medlow Bath in den Blue Mountains, NSW, wurden erhöhte PFAS-Werte im Medlow Dam entdeckt, der das Cascade Water Filtration Plant versorgt. WaterNSW trennte daraufhin Medlow und Greaves Creek Dams vom Versorgungssystem. Seit Dezember 2024 ist eine spezielle PFAS-Behandlung in Betrieb, und das Trinkwasser entspricht den australischen Richtlinien.
