New regulations that place stricter limits on the presence of “forever chemicals” in Pennsylvania’s public drinking water are not expected to heavily impact the local water supply, officials said.

While the revised standards dramatically reduce the levels of two forms of the toxic chemicals that collectively are known as PFAS, local water companies said routine testing has found the amount of the substances in the water is below what the state will allow starting in 2024.

The new standards sets the limit for perflouroctanic acid at 14 parts per trillion and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid at 18 parts per trillion.

Both manmade chemicals are considered toxic at elevated levels. They’re considered byproducts of commonly used in products such as nonstick cookware, carpets, firefighting foam and fast-food wrappers.

“Through testing we’ve done, we know we are well below these (new) levels,” said Michael Kukura, manager of the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County. The authority sells water to more than 122,000 customers in Westmoreland, Allegheny, Armstrong, Fayette and Indiana counties.

The authority last year had to flush a portion of its system that serves about 250 customers in McKeesport after foam used to extinguish a fire leached into the local waterlines and caused excess levels of PFAS in the local pipes. A year later, residents contend small traces of PFAS remain.

Systemwide, the authority has found no similar issues as it conducted regular testing at multiple locations throughout the service area.

“We’ve picked sites throughout the entire system, and we’re taking samples,” Kukura said.

Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, which provides drinking water to more than 300,000 customers in the city and its surrounding area, found no quantifiable levels of PFAS, according to reports posted on the agency’s website that detail findings through August 2021.

Authority representatives did not respond to a request for comment.

Carla Ng, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, said the state’s revised standards will result in substantial reductions of the forever chemicals in local drinking water. She suggested ongoing studies have shown permitted levels have long been too high for PFAS, as well as other potentially dangerous chemicals.

The previous standards for PFAS, set by both the state and the federal Environmental Protection Agency, was 70 parts per trillion. The EPA last year suggested a rule that lets PFAS levels even further below the revised state standards, but a final decision on new federal levels has yet to be finalized.

Ng predicted the federal limits could be stricter than the new state guidelines.

“There will be utilities that have to treat their water and there are probably a few approaching that level. The big question is: what do we do about all the other compounds,” Ng said. “The EPA acknowledged there is no safe level — and you can’t get down to the level (they suggested).”

The state levels are more realistic and could require public water utilities that struggle to meet them to use carbon filtering, a solution homeowners can also use as protection against PFAS.

Kukura said the MAWC’s water treatment plant at the Beaver Run Reservoir in Bell Township, which serves about half of the utility’s customers, is outfitted with a granular activated-carbon filtration system that protects against the chemical.

The system’s two other treatment plants, along the Youghiogheny River near Connellsville and in McKeesport, are similarly protected.

“It may come into play, and we’ll try to get that done at all our plants,” Kukura said.

John Kane (1860 — 1934) was an American self-taught painter. 

He was born John Cain to Irish parents in West Calder, Scotland on August 19, 1860. His father died when he was age 10, leaving behind a widow and 7 children. His father was employed as a grave digger in West Calder, it is said that he dug a grave on Friday and filled it on Monday. The young Kane quit school to work in the shale mines. He actually worked at Youngs Paraffin works and was so struck with the malleability of the hot paraffin moulds that he made a mask of his own face for his mother Biddy. Naturally he burned his face, but not too seriously. 

After his mother remarried, he emigrated to the United States at age 19, following his stepfather and older brother Patrick.He first worked for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at McKeesport as a gandy dancer, one who stamps down stones between the railroad ties. Next he worked a stint in the steel industry at the National Tube Company in McKeesport, but soon left for a job in Connellsville, Pennsylvania at the coke ovens of Henry Clay Frick.

The right of way formed a twisting ledge between rock cuts on one side and white water rapids far below on the other. Melting snow and changing temperatures exacerbated fissures in the rock, periodically causing huge boulders to come crashing down onto the tracks. Mountain railroads employ slide fences that electronically warn trains that tracks may be fouled by falling rock, (or trespassing deer). Equipping an entire route through a mountain range, however, is cost-prohibitive. Descending westbound, into Connellsville, Penn., one dark 1988 night, negotiating 30 mph Number One Cut, I suddenly spied a boulder the size of an automobile, wedged between the hillside and the rails. With a collision inevitable, I applied the emergency brake and radioed my conductor, “Get everybody down and hold on — we’re gonna hit a big rock!“ And we did. I feared a glancing blow off the side of the boulder, derailing and fouling the adjacent track, or even plunging the entire train into the river below, but we remained upright and on the track. My fireman, Dave, headed out to protect us from oncoming trains, while I got on the radio to warn any trains in the area, “Emergency, Emergency! Amtrak 29 is in emergency at Number One Cut!” Radios aren’t very effective in the mountains so out of pure frustration I shouted into the handset, ‘Mayday, Mayday! Can anyone hear me?” My lead F40, was rendered useless by the collision with most of its air brake equipment torn away. Standing atop the boulder, adjacent to the dining car, conductor Jerry surveyed the damage. “More rock is falling. We’ve got to move this train right now!” I blocked the brake pipe flow behind the crippled locomotive, placed my fireman at its handbrake, and my conductor served as my set of eyes in the cab, while I operated the train from the second unit. Without further incident, we limped into Connellsville. “You’re supposed to say ‘Emergency,’ not ‘Mayday,’” chirped the tower operator. Everyone had heard my transmission — they just hadn’t responded. I retired in 2012. My son, Ryan, now 39, has 20 years of Amtrak service and is a regularly assigned engineer on the Capitol Limited between Washington and Cumberland, Md. He called me on his way home recently. “I hit a boulder at Paw Paw, [W.Va.] eastbound this morning, bigger than the one you got. I managed to stay on the rail though. Everyone’s okay, but it tore up the engine.” Then, he paused … “I got into Washington just in time to catch 85 to Richmond. Jerry was the conductor. When he asked why we were so late, I explained that we’d hit a boulder. With a huge grin on his face, he said, “Like father, like son.” Then he asked, “Did you yell ‘Mayday, Mayday’ too?”
