Neither the USEPA nor Ohio EPA regulate the presence of PFAS chemicals in public water systems and thus there is no requirement for routine monitoring. In 2015, EHRWSD was required by USEPA to participate in the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR3), which included testing for six PFAS compounds. On July 22, 2015 and December 8, 2015, EHRWSD submitted samples of their finished drinking water to an EPA-approved laboratory for PFAS analysis using the EPA-approved analytical method. None of the six PFAS compounds listed in UCMR3 were detected in the EHRWSD finished water samples.
