The treatment system installation highlights Aqua’s ongoing
commitment to remove “forever chemicals”
Aqua Pennsylvania announced today the completion of its PFAS
treatment system installation at its Perkiomen Woods well station
in Montgomery County. This is the fourth PFAS treatment facility
that Aqua Pennsylvania has completed and placed into operation
since 2018, all of which meet the new PFAS national drinking water
standard. This new system removes PFAS from drinking water for
about 1,100 people in Upper Providence Township. The new treatment
includes four 3-foot diameter filter vessels using anion exchange
media. With these upgrades, this facility treats drinking water to
meet both the state and federal PFAS drinking water standards.
“We’ve been hard at work for years testing and removing PFAS
from drinking water in the communities we serve in Pennsylvania,
setting an internal aggressive removal target before regulations
existed and now continuing as leaders to meet the new federal
regulations,” said Aqua Pennsylvania President Marc Lucca. “This
project highlights our dedication to our customers as well as our
commitment to comply with state and federal regulations.”
The nearly $1.3 million project is also a testament to the
ingenuity of the Aqua Pennsylvania engineering team. Due to the
limited building size and access, crews installed rooftop hatches
to ensure the new filter vessels could be hoisted by crane into the
water treatment facility, which avoided more costly options
associated with construction of a new building.
“It’s these dedicated professionals who set Aqua Pennsylvania
apart,” said Lucca. “This project shows no obstacle is too large
when you have a team like we have here, willing to work together to
come up with cost-effective, timely solutions no matter how
difficult the task may be, while always keeping the customer in
mind.”
The treatment became fully operational on July 30.
