$2 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING TO RESTART TUCSON WATER TREATMENT PLANT - Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) announced this week that $2 million in state funding will help Tucson Water restart a treatment plant that was forced to shut down because of groundwater contamination. The new state funding will fast-track efforts to bring the Tucson Airport Remediation Plant (TARP) back online and safely continue treating contaminated groundwater in the area. Tucson Water suspended operations of the plant due to increasing levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in nearby groundwater. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and Tucson Water are working on an intergovernmental agreement to approve the funding this week. Tucson Water assures the public that contaminated water has not been served to customers from TARP. These measures are being pursued to protect public health and to ensure that no contaminants enter the drinking water system in the future.
