EPA is moving forward with PFAS drinking water limits but delaying compliance deadlines and withdrawing a controversial hazard index.
At the same time, the Trump White House has proposed about a 90% cut to the State Revolving Funds—raising serious concerns about how utilities will afford compliance and critical infrastructure upgrades.
In this first episode of In The Newsroom, Bob Crossen, Editorial Director of WaterWorld Magazine and Wastewater Digest, explains the latest regulatory developments and what they mean for the water sector.
The conversation covers EPA’s updated PFAS strategy, potential legal challenges, and the “polluter pays” approach to liability. Bob also discusses how smaller utilities struggle to access SRF funding, the role of WIFIA, and what Congress might do next.
