Questions/Concerns about Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOS) or Perfluoroctyl Sulfonate (PFOA)

As reflected in attached press release from ADEM (the Alabama Department of Environmental Management), Madison Utilities is not among the water systems in the State of Alabama which have received tests results reflecting concentrations of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOS) or Perfluoroctyl Sulfonate (PFOA) at or above final health advisory levels. In fact, tests performed at the direction of ADEM confirm that neither PFOA nor PFOS are found in  any detectible levels in Madison Utilities’ finished drinking water. All such tests were performed in compliance with Rule 3 of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rules.
