PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of man-made chemicals often called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down naturally in the environment. For decades, PFAS have been used in non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, firefighting foam, food packaging, and industrial manufacturing. As a result, these chemicals have seeped into soil, groundwater, and municipal water supplies across the United States.
• Found in thousands of everyday consumer and industrial products
• Resistant to heat, oil, and water — making them persistent in the environment
• Detected in public water systems nationwide
• Accumulate in the human body over time

PFAS contamination in water systems is widespread and growing. Because these chemicals do not naturally degrade, they build up in rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers that supply city drinking water. Even in areas that meet federal standards, trace levels may still be present. Long-term exposure to PFAS has been linked to serious health concerns.
• Associated with increased risk of certain cancers
• Linked to hormone disruption and thyroid disease
• May impact immune system function
• Can contribute to liver damage and developmental issues in children

City water filtration systems designed with advanced purification technology can significantly reduce or remove PFAS from drinking water. High-quality systems use proven methods such as reverse osmosis and activated carbon filtration to trap and eliminate these contaminants before they reach your tap. Investing in a professionally installed water filtration system helps protect your family’s long-term health and improves overall water quality.
• Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems remove up to 99% of PFAS
• Activated Carbon filters absorb and trap harmful chemicals
• Multi-stage filtration ensures cleaner, safer drinking water
• Provides peace of mind with healthier, better-tasting water
