BREDL sends letter to NC DEQ Secretary regarding notification of water customers regarding PFAS in drinking water
BREDL has found that some water systems are not notifying their customers when PFAS is found in drinking water – even when concentrations are above the EPA health advisory limits. The excuse of not having statutory authority to require that water systems notify their customers is not acceptable.
We are requesting that NC DEQ notify the public whenever PFAS contaminants are found in drinking water.
