drinking-water
Indiana American Water is planning a major PFAS treatment buildout for its drinking-water system. The piece matters for systems facing the same contaminant rules because it points to the scale of capital work utilities may need to add to meet PFAS compliance, but the excerpt does not say which treatment technology, service areas, or compliance deadlines are driving the project.
PFAS & contaminants
The piece is about federal funding for Great Lakes water systems and how Congress will affect that money. It matters for utilities that rely on revolving funds and other public financing for drinking water and wastewater work.
Funding & revolving funds
stormwater
St. Augustine is moving ahead with a flood mitigation project that uses green infrastructure in the Court Theophelia area. For systems with similar stormwater obligations, the story points to local capital work aimed at reducing flood impacts rather than a compliance action or utility operations change.
