PFAS Resources for Communities
The resources on this page will help communities, including their leaders and elected officials, through the discovery of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Additional resources will be added as they are available.
Funding Assistance For Infrastructure Improvements
Information about funding to assist communities with infrastructure improvements to reduce PFAS in drinking water is available at Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Funding.
Resources About Health Impacts
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) provides information about protecting human health from PFAS. Topics discussed include reducing PFAS exposure during common activities such as gardening, swimming and working around the home.
