Background:
The City of Broken Arrow provides reliable drinking water and wastewater services for approximately 120,000 residents. In April 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published its first drinking water Maximum Contaminant Limits (MCLs) for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) of 4.0 ng/L for two PFAS compounds (PFOS and PFOA) and a combined Hazard Index (HI) limit for four other PFAS compounds (and individual MCLs of 10 ng/L for three of these compounds - PFHxS, Gen-X, and PFNA). All water utilities are required to begin compliance monitoring by April 2027 with MCL compliance by April 2029. This purpose of this project is for HDR Engineering, Inc. to assist in evaluating the City of Broken Arrow’s water and wastewater system with respect to the new PFAS drinking water regulations and potential wastewater implications.
The Water and Wastewater System PFAS Compliance Study Agreement has been negotiated with HDR Engineering, Inc. for $316,772.00.
