On April 10, 2024, United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for six (6) Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). With an understanding that these regulations were forthcoming, the Kentucky Division of Water proactively implemented a statewide PFAS sampling project in 2023 to determine a snapshot of PFAS levels across the state of Kentucky at Public Drinking Water Systems. Over the course of approximately six months, 201 public drinking water systems were sampled by Division of Water Environmental Scientists. This data, combined with 2019 UCMR5 data, allowed the Division to have at least one PFAS data point for every public water system in the state of Kentucky by the fall of 2023. Scientists with the Division utilized strict collection procedures including prohibited clothing and personal items on sampling day, strict adherence to the Division’s sampling SOP, and strict adherence to the shipping SOP. Results for both Groundwater and Surface Water plants were reviewed and shared with the Public Water Systems. Only 3% of the plants sampled in 2023 had preliminary results at or above the Final MCL. One of these systems was the North Marshall Water District, a small groundwater system in far western Kentucky. This water system utilizes two water plants, only one of which, Carter-Brien, showed elevated PFAS levels. In response to the results, the Division conducted more in depth sampling of the North Marshall Water District, even including private wells. The results prompted the North Marshall Water District to shut down the Carter-Brien Water Plant to prevent elevated PFAS from entering the system, and utilized their secondary plant while they investigated treatment options. Currently, North Marshall has applied for and obtained funding to begin the implementation process of a Granular Activated Carbon filtration system at their Carter-Brien Water Plant. Overall, the results from the 2023 Kentucky PFAS sampling project were positive, revealing very few systems in Kentucky that exceeded the final MCL. For those 3% of systems that had PFAS levels over the final MCL, the results allowed them a bit of a head start to begin brainstorming treatment and funding options for their particular drinking water systems.
