New Hampshire to get $56M PFAS settlement to boost clean water
Public Health,Water And Oceans,Science,Health
New Hampshire has received nearly $8 million from 3M as part of a nationwide settlement over the contamination of forever chemicals, known as PFAs, in public drinking water systems.
The funds will be deposited into the state’s Drinking Water and Groundwater Trust Fund for distribution to eligible water systems across the state.
The initial payment is part of New Hampshire’s approximately $56 million share from phase one of the 3M settlement. A larger phase one payment is expected by year’s end, with additional smaller payments continuing annually through 2033. A second round of funding in phase two is scheduled for after 2026.
