Jul 2, 2025 · Aqua Pennsylvania Inc. - Friendship Well PFAS Project · $1.38M
Listed for FFY2025 BIL Emerging Contaminants funds in the DWSRF Intended Use Plan. Source →
Apr 23, 2025 · Received a $1,375,014 grant and a $724,986 loan to minimize the presence of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in finished water via treatment at the Friendship Treatment Well in West Brandywine Township. The project will include the construction of a new treatment facility that will maintain the permitted capacity of 120 gallons per minute (GPM) and will be located on the property of the existing Friendship Well Station. It will also include the installation of ion exchange units, and two 4-foot diameter treatment vessels with a 5-micron cartridge filter upstream of the IX system. The project will address health and safety concerns associated with Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contamination. · —
