Camden announces $725,000 SRF grant to study PFAS treatment options at water plant
Summary
City Manager Matt DeWitt announced a $725,000 State Revolving Fund grant to support a required study of PFAS treatment options at Camden’s water treatment plant; staff also provided notices about signage, AT&T construction complaints and the July 4 parade.
City Manager Matt DeWitt told the Camden City Council on June 2, 2026, that the city has been awarded a $725,000 State Revolving Fund (SRF) grant to support a required study of treatment options for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the city’s water treatment plant.
DeWitt described the award as funding to investigate treatment alternatives for PFAS — often called “forever chemicals” — and to support the city’s compliance with any regulatory requirements for treatment. The announcement was made as part of routine council and staff updates; DeWitt also reviewed guidelines for posting election-season signage, advised residents to contact AT&T directly about restoration construction concerns, and reminded the public that the Fourth of July Parade will be held Saturday, July 4, 2026.
The transcript records the grant announcement but does not include technical details about the study scope, the timeline for the study, or any estimated project cost beyond the grant award amount. Those implementation details were not specified at the meeting.
