This in-depth session explores PFAS and its impact on drinking water safety. With the EPA’s newly finalized regulations and $1 billion in funding for PFAS testing and treatment, understanding how these forever chemicals affect communities and what steps utilities can take is more important than ever.
Ermias Leggesse, Chief Scientist of Research & Development at KETOS, and Ganesh Hegde, Director of Data Science & AI Strategy, take a deep dive into PFAS, its prevalence, and the challenges it presents. They explore how the EPA plans to manage PFAS in drinking water, what utilities can do to prepare for compliance, and how advanced technology plays a role in addressing contamination. The session also introduces KETOS PRISM and the PFAS Proximity Finder Tool, designed to help utilities monitor and manage PFAS more effectively.
