Stoneridge Well PFAS Treatment System Project

In a continuing effort to supply the Tri-Valley with safe, reliable water that surpasses state and federal drinking water standards, Zone 7 is in the final stages of constructing a water treatment system to address Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in the local groundwater at the Stoneridge Well. The treatment system went online in September 2023 and final construction at the facility is anticipated to be complete by Spring 2024.
