What BOND/MADISON WATER COMPANY customers can do

BOND/MADISON WATER COMPANY's water is approaching federal PFAS limits. Consider these steps:

  • Install a water filter certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 53 or 58 for PFAS reduction. Activated carbon pitchers or under-sink reverse osmosis systems both work.
  • Request your utility's most recent Consumer Confidence Report and ask specifically about PFAS testing.
  • Ask your utility what treatment changes are planned to reduce PFAS levels.
  • Sign up for water quality alerts and follow your utility's compliance reporting.
