As part of our ongoing pollution prevention efforts, NEW Water voluntarily began sampling at its two treatment facilities in the spring of 2023. NEW Water is not currently subject to PFAS surface water criteria or monitoring requirements. After a Quality Assurance Review, an annual data summary has been compiled.
NEW Water conducted quarterly monitoring at locations representative of our incoming untreated wastewater and our outgoing treated wastewater at the Green Bay Facility and the De Pere Facility.
The 2023 data offer a baseline to help inform future monitoring needs and pollution prevention strategies.
