Debt Isn’t A Bad Word: Navigating Funding to Address PFAS in Drinking Water – Webinar #3

Join us on Tuesday, October 21, at 12 p.m. for a free webinar to learn about accessing funding to address PFAS in Drinking Water. Recent federal EPA standards, along with a comprehensive legislative package in NJ addressing PFAS, are set to increase costs for water systems as they work to meet stricter MCLs. Private well owners may also face compliance expenses. 

While funding mechanisms, such as the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, can provide financial assistance, higher consumer rates might still be necessary. Companies may also be held liable through settlements.

Join us as we discuss efforts to address PFAS and share the associated costs of treatment. Learn from SL Environmental Law Group about how they have successfully connected clients with PFAS settlement funding in other states. As we await the allocation of settlement funds in New Jersey, let’s explore ways to navigate funding in the PFAS landscape.

This is the third and final webinar of New Jersey Future’s Funding Navigator Debt Isn’t A Bad Word series. When managed properly, debt is not something to fear but rather a tool for long-term investment. It helps finance large infrastructure projects, providing municipalities with the necessary resources to improve their systems and grow over time.
