PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' in DeLand Drinking Water
Summary
Six of the city's eleven water plants exceed proposed federal PFAS limits, and fixing it will cost about $60 million. The Commission took the first step toward a low-interest state revolving fund loan, with debt service of roughly $3.6 million a year that will eventually flow through water rates.

Impact analysis
About $60 million in capital costs, funded largely through a low-interest SRF loan with roughly $3.6 million in annual debt service.
All 27,000 water customers get drinking water that meets federal health standards.
Water customers will ultimately shoulder repayment through rates, though state loan terms soften the blow.
