Buckingham seeks grant to address PFAS in well water

Dated: November 29 2024

Views: 62

Buckingham Township has authorized pursuit of a $1 million Statewide Local Share Assessment Grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority to support further remediation of toxic chemicals in well water for its water and sewer customers. Township well water is being treated to meet current standards, but would not pass under the stricter federal regulations, which are tougher than current state Department of Environmental Protection standards. Buckingham would not be able to cover the cost for the technology to reduce PFAS levels to the new standard from present revenue, so the township is seeking as much support as it can get from outside sources to cover the expected increase in remediation costs. About 60% of Buckingham residents get their drinking water from their own wells, but the remaining 40% of residents subscribe to the township’s public water and sewer service.
