As you may know, the Department of Natural Resources has been working on a set of rules to regulate PFAS in water. Right now, they're taking comments on the rule that covers groundwater, and we need to show them Wisconsinites support it!
Industry interests have been pushing back on these rules, despite the fact that they would provide much needed protections for public health. PFAS are linked to negative health outcomes like cancer, increased cholesterol, reproductive concerns, and impacts to the immune system.
The standards the DNR is proposing will allow them to monitor for PFAS in groundwater, which is the source of drinking water for many Wisconsin residents, and which is not regulated the way public water systems are. Send in a comment now to keep Wisconsin water clean!
