PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in manufacturing a variety of consumer products including packaging, non-stick surfaces, fire-fighting foams and more. PFAS have been found in the air, soil and water throughout the U.S. and around the world. Though water districts are not responsible for releasing PFAS into the environment, they have been tasked with removing PFAS from affected water sources. Ion Exchange treatment is one proven method of removing PFAS from water.
Zone 7 uses Ion Exchange columns in its 2 functional PFAS Treatment Faciities at Stoneridge and Chain of Lakes. Another Facility is on the way.
