• Maine is tightening limits on 'forever chemicals' in drinking water. Are communities ready? (penbaypilot.com) — Sanford’s water system faces costly new requirements to filter PFAS “forever chemicals,” with two treatment facilities projected to cost $25 million and push up operating expenses by 2029. The Sanford Water District is already phasing in 1.5% annual rate hikes, using grants and potential lawsuit settlements to soften the blow for local ratepayers.
