Notice to Customers

There has been a lot of talk in the news about PFAS contamination and “forever chemicals” in our environment.  PFAS are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that are widely used and long lasting. Gettysburg Municipal Authority wants you to know we are following this issue closely and preparing to take any action necessary to ensure that your drinking water is safe and healthy.  So far PFAS have been detected in two of the Authority’s wells at levels below the current PA Department of Environmental Protection limits.  The US Environmental Protection Agency is expected to issue final PFAS regulations later this year and a comprehensive, year-long monitoring program is set to start early in 2024 that will look for 29 different PFAS chemicals in each water source.  While more information is being gathered and regulations are being finalized, we will continue to focus our efforts on providing the best and highest quality drinking water to you our customer.
