City of Loveland Awarded $1.3M for PFAS Treatment Design
The City of Loveland has been awarded $1.3 million in principal forgiveness funding from the Ohio EPA to design a treatment solution for Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the city’s water system. PFAS are manufactured chemicals found in many consumer products, and while Loveland’s water currently meets all state and federal safety standards, the City is proactively preparing for new national regulations from the U.S. EPA that will require stricter limits.
Following an engineering study completed in 2024 and approval of the City’s General Plan earlier this year, this new funding will support the design phase for potential treatment system modifications. “Loveland is working toward meeting the new standards, and this funding helps move us closer to compliance by the deadline," said Mayor Kathy Bailey. The City is committed to protecting public health and will continue seeking funding opportunities for future construction of the treatment improvements. To read the complete press release, click here.
