|Water Contamination
The Wolf administration issued a statement Dec. 5 stating that even though there have been regional incidents of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water, those have not been widespread throughout Pennsylvania.
The report was issued under a September 2018 executive order creating a PFAS Action Team. According to a Wolf administration statement, the team has taken steps to identify and address contamination and establish a cleanup plan that will result in every Pennsylvanian having water free from PFAS contamination.
