About National Rural Water Association's PFAS Cost Recovery Program:

Idaho Rural Water Association (IRWA) has teamed with National Rural Water Association to make you aware of a PFAS Cost Recovery Program that we strongly encourage your utility to register into, at no cost, to protect your utility and rate payers from a PFAS contamination financial burden.

To better understand what this Cost Recovery Program is click HERE to read the letter IRWA sent to our member utility systems.

In January 2023, the EPA publicly released an interactive application called the PFAS Analytic Tools. The PFAS Analytic Tools bring together available national datasets into a searchable, map-themed webpage that allows users to filter, zoom in and download information related to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). EPA issued a Press Release about the application, which provides context about how this effort fits with other EPA initiatives relating to PFAS chemicals. 

UPDATE on the National Rural Water Association PFAS Cost Recovery Program:

The district court has scheduled a bellwether trial to test the merits of the case involving water utilities. NRWA's counsel Paul Napoli is the lead attorney for this effort. At the moment, they are at the point of the spear for this effort nationwide. 

If you are concerned about your member utility having to deal with costs related to PFAS now and in the future, be sure to act soon!
