Riverside water PFAS filtering project completes; district received state aid
Summary
District staff reported that PFAS filters and a pump house at Riverside are installed and testing shows nondetectable PFAS; the district received approximately $93,725 in state aid toward a roughly $100,000 project.
Operations staff told the board the Riverside water project to remove PFAS is complete and the district’s current tests show nondetectable PFAS levels. Jason (first name used in meeting) said the district replaced the pump house and installed PFAS filters that use a combination of resin and carbon, with test points between filters and an expected filter life of eight to ten years before re‑bed. "We have no PFAS," he said, and staff invited the board and audience to sample the water. Jason said the district received about $93,725 in state aid for the project; total cost was about $100,000. Jason said the filters were designed by US Filter and are performing as anticipated; the district plans periodic testing this year to confirm continued performance and will budget for future filter replacement costs.
