Advocates of tougher PFAS regulation urged the EPA and other federal agencies to make grants and low-cost loans available to local water districts to build new systems. Billions of dollars for drinking water were included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
“It is about time that the EPA takes action on PFAS but we can’t stop here,” said Chandra Rosenthal, Rocky Mountain director for the nonprofit Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. “The Colorado public needs to continue to push our state agencies for stronger regulations and accountability for polluters who have contaminated our water and jeopardized public health.”
