Arizona is set to receive $42 million to tackle the issue of PFAS in the Tucson Water supply and local businesses weigh in.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona is receiving $42 million from the Biden administration's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help remove PFAS from the water supply, Tucson Mayor Regina Romero shared on Twitter Monday.
"Tucson water does a good job of monitoring with their laboratories, delivering clean water," Yolanda Herrera, the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association president, said."The fact that we are getting monies to clean the PFAS is a plus." "If we didn't have water, we're done," Shah said."So to consider ourselves a tea shop is kind of strange we actually refer to ourselves as a magic water shop.""Having high quality water is really about having a filtration system," he said."Ultimately removing all of those harmful things is what we are all striving for as a community."
