County PFAS pilot: 540 applications, 480 samples; rebates rolling out as results arrive
Putnam County’s PFAS pilot is in its fifth month with 540 testing applications and 480 samples completed; preliminary exceedance rate is "a little over 20%," and the State-controlled rebate process will reimburse up to $5,000 for full systems, $1,000 for sink-only installs and $10,000 in rare hookup cases. Questions remained about disclosure of test results on home sales.
