Remote Meeting - Information on how to participate in State Water Board meetings remotely
State Water Boards scientists identified the top two most common PFAS types in 17% of 3,422 wells tested across 51 California counties.
While contamination was less widespread than expected, California now aims to treat the chemicals as a whole, rather than individual types.
Leaking fuel and hazardous waste can pollute our water systems. Single-walled storage tanks must close by January 1, 2026.
99% of these tanks are now closed.
85% of Californians depend on groundwater for all or part of their water needs.
Faster, lower-cost, 5-year permits allow California to store more water underground for future droughts.
