PFAS are industrial chemicals that don’t break down easily and have been linked to potential health concerns. These chemicals may be present in some private drinking water wells in Connecticut.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health and UConn Extension are working together to better understand PFAS in private wells—and to help well owners take action.

What’s Being Offered

• A short educational presentation on what well owners need to know about PFAS in drinking water
• Free PFAS testing for private well owners in select areas of Connecticut
• No-cost treatment assistance if PFAS levels exceed Connecticut’s health-based standards

How It Works

1. Attend a short, informative presentation about PFAS and private wells
2. Receive a free water sampling kit with step-by-step instructions
3. Collect your water sample at home and return it as directed
