The Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority (BCWSA) has successfully utilized innovative treatment technology to remove toxic PFAS, known as forever chemicals, from its drinking water. The new treatment system was recently piloted at two water supply locations that had slightly elevated PFAS levels above the state Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) regulation. BCWSA partnered with TruClear Water Solutions, a leading service provider to clean water using non-chemical technology, to operate its advanced molecular oxidation (AMO) system. BCWSA is currently seeking DEP approval to permanently utilize the technology. If approved, BCWSA would be the first to operate the technology to remove PFAS from drinking water. “It’s a remarkable moment for the county to be a leader in addressing an issue that impacts communities across the globe,” said John Cordisco, BCWSA board chairman.
