Program description:
How do you share information about “Forever Chemicals” with your customers when they learn their water system has become contaminated? With over 5,000 variants, “PFAS” is the most often used, yet misunderstood phrase.

As a contractor, you have a well-established and trusted relationship with your customers. You need to understand how to share PFAS information with your customer and educate them on possible steps they may need to pursue in the event of a PFAS detection. This offering provides you with a better understanding of PFAS and how you can inform customers, as well as how state associations can serve as resources.
