Not sure if you're eligible?
Any Community Water System (CWS) or Non-Transient Non-Community Water System (NTNCWS) that has detected PFAS or is required to monitor is likely eligible for settlement funds. This was an opt-out class — your system was automatically included unless it filed a timely opt-out.
