Town Of Bedford: Reinstatement Of NHDES PFAS Removal Rebate Program

Press release from the Town of Bedford: Reinstatement of NHDES PFAS Removal Rebate Program for Private Wells on September 9, 2024

House Bill 1649 was signed into law on August 2, 2024, allowing NHDES, while administrative rules are in the process of being adopted, to continue to provide rebates for water treatment or connection to public water systems as part of an effort to assist private well users whose water supply has been impacted by PFAS contamination. In response to this action, NHDES will reinstate the PFAS Removal Rebate Program for Private Wells for eligible applicants on September 9, 2024. Applicants will be limited to owners of residential properties in the state of New Hampshire that use a drinking water well impacted by PFAS and have not been offered or are not being provided alternate water, temporary or permanent, from a potentially liable third party. Provisions will be made available for income-qualified applicants to request rebates be distributed directly to a treatment installer or contractor. At this time the department continues to process rebates for applications submitted prior to the program suspension on June 10, 2024.

NHDES will release a new application form for submission starting on September 9, 2024.
