Wisconsin’s governor wants to update the rules for PFAS contamination in the state’s drinking water.
Governor Tony Evers and the Department of Natural Resources this month introduced an update for the state’s clean water standards. The update brings Wisconsin in-line with the federal rules for PFAS, plus adds three new chemicals to the list of PFAS chemicals that would be regulated. Wisconsin lawmakers approved PFAS rules back in 2022, but there continues to be a battle at the statehouse over how best to deal with PFAS contamination across the state. The governor yesterday accused Republican lawmakers of doing nothing.
