Do you rely on a private well, spring, or cistern for your drinking water?

Join us for a free educational workshop to learn about PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often called "forever chemicals," and how they may impact private water supplies. You'll learn how PFAS move through the environment, potential exposure pathways, how to interpret water test results, available treatment options, and the latest research and regulations.

As part of the workshop, eligible participants will receive a complimentary PFAS water test valued at approximately $300.

To qualify for free testing, participants must:
— Register and attend the live workshop
— Live in a primary residence with a private water supply (well, spring, or cistern)
— Complete water sample collection and return it to a designated drop-off location

Only one test is available per household, and testing capacity is limited. Please register only if you can attend the workshop and complete the testing process.

This program is funded through support from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the CDC Environmental Health Capacity Building Initiative, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Master Well Owner Network program.
