EGLE reports progress as PFAS in drinking water rules near compliance milestone
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) today announced that Michigan's new standards limiting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in public drinking water supplies are being met by most of the state's roughly 2,700 municipal and other large public drinking water systems less than a year after the standards were adopted.
Officially adopted by the state in August 2020, the new rules are among the most stringent and comprehensive PFAS standards in the nation and include provisions for reducing exposure to seven PFAS compounds in drinking water. The provisions include establishing drinking water standards, sampling requirements, public notification requirements and laboratory certification criteria.
