Buckingham to allocate nearly $5M to address PFAS contamination
Buckingham Township will invest nearly $5 million in state funding to remove PFAS “forever chemicals” from its public water systems, including a $2.4 million PENNVEST grant to design and install a treatment system at the Furlong Water System’s F8 well. The Furlong system, which serves central Buckingham and was interconnected with the Buckingham Village Water System in 2022, includes eight wells, storage tanks and pump stations. Although prior testing fell below state limits, baseline results prompted the township to move forward with PFAS removal. The new system will also reduce taste and odor compounds, organic color, total organic carbon and certain industrial contaminants. Buckingham previously received a $2 million PENNVEST grant and a $615,089 low-interest loan for PFAS treatment at the Cold Spring Water System’s Hearthstone Facility, as part of broader efforts to address long-standing PFAS contamination across Bucks and Montgomery counties.
