What is being bought
This project will provide insights into the risk profile of PFAS chemicals in water supplies beyond the water treatment works stage. The study should include an assessment of PFAS in the network to determine if there are locations and materials and products that are deemed high risk to drinking water quality and evaluate the risks of PFAS migration or leachates from these areas of concern.
