Aqua Pennsylvania, a subsidiary of Essential Utilities, confirmed it is prepared to meet federal PFAS regulations ahead of the required 2029 compliance deadline. This readiness stems from nearly a decade of proactive efforts to remove PFAS from drinking water, including setting its own company standard in 2020.
The company has invested in a state-of-the-art lab for PFAS testing and installed advanced filters in affected systems to meet DEP standards by 2025 and EPA compliance by 2029. Aqua Pennsylvania has also secured nearly $100 million in low-interest loans and grants from PENNVEST in 2024 to fund critical projects.
Aqua Pennsylvania continues to pursue legal action against chemical manufacturers responsible for PFAS contamination to offset costs for customers. These efforts highlight the company's commitment to water quality and proactive regulatory compliance.
