Register your utility now to be eligible to recover any current or future expenses associated with PFAS testing, treatment and/or remediation.
PFAS Detections - Time Sensitive
If your system has had PFAS detections at any level or there is a potential contaminate source in your area, register your utility now to be eligible to recover any current or future expenses associated with PFAS testing, treatment and/or remediation.
As background, in 2019, the National Rural Water Association of which Massachusetts Rural Water is one of 49-member state rural water affiliates, engaged with the Law Firm of Napoli Shkolnik to file a cost recovery action so system could recover current and future expenses for testing, treatment and remediation of PFAS contamination. Additional background information is available at www.napolilaw.com/nrwa-pfas/.
The sole purpose was to provide systems the opportunity to recovery their expenses, but the system must be registered onto the cost recovery rolls prior to a settlement being reached. Settlement talks are under way thus we encourage your system to register onto the cost recovery rolls to benefit from this action. There are three key points to this action:
The action taken is cost recovery not punitive.
It is filed against the global manufactures of these forever compounds thus does not impact a local company who may have used them.
There is no upfront cost to register onto the rolls and benefit from this action, but a system must be registered prior to a settlement in order to benefit.
