EPA sets official limits for 'forever chemicals' in drinking wat, and Jackson's sytem is below threshold.
EPA sets new PFAS limits, JXN Water ‘well below’ threshold by Alex Rozier, Mississippi Today April 10, 2024 The Environmental Protection Agency set official limits on Wednesday for a group of chemicals, called"PFAS," in public drinking water. Shortly after the EPA's announcement, JXN Water, the third-party manager of Jackson's drinking water system, put out a press release saying that the utility is in line with the new regulations.
" Public drinking water systems around the country will now have three years to monitor their releases for PFAS, and then five years, or until 2029, to bring PFAS levels under the newly established limits. After that, utilities with PFAS above EPA levels will be in violation. The enforceable limits for PFOA and PFOS, the more common types of PFAS, are now 4 parts per trillion.
