UNREGULATED CONTAMINANTS AND PFASGCMI
UNREgULATED cONTAmiNANTS In 2024, the Collier County Water Sewer District detected none of the unregulated contaminants tested during analysis. The District has been monitoring for unregulated contaminants as part of a study to help the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to determine their occurrence in drinking water and whether these contaminants need to be regulated. At present, no health standards (such as maximum contaminant levels) have been established for unregulated contaminants.--IIKIG
The District is required to publish the analytical results of our unregulated contaminants monitoring in the annual water quality report. For more information on the EPA’s Unregulated Contaminants Monitoring Rule, please call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800 426 4791. PFAS iN DRiNkiNg WATER PFAS are synthetic compounds extensively used in various products such as clothing, furniture and food
packaging. PFAS compounds do not naturally occur in drinking water supplies. When products containing PFAS are used and disposed of, they have the potential to release PFAS into the environment, which can include drinking water sources. The District has not detected the presence of PFAS in the drinking water supply. The District complies with all Environmental Protection Agency regulations to ensure the safety and quality of the drinking water. More information is available at epa.gov/pfas.
