PFAS INFORMATION
East Rockhill Township was informed in September 2016 that the North Penn wells in East Rockhill Township were found to have slightly elevated levels of PFCs (per-fluorinated compounds) in the water resulting in North Penn taking wells offline. Perkasie Regional Authority purchased the system and the wells remain offline.
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have an ongoing investigation which covers portions of East Rockhill Township, West Rockhill Township and Perkasie Borough. Visit DEP Ridge Run PFAS web page for pertinent information.
In September 2018, the PFAS Action Team was formed to address growing national concerns surrounding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
To have your water tested for PFOA and PFOS Certified Water Services in Newtown at 215-968-8860 provides the service.
