PFAS are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Operators hear them called “forever chemicals.” For a public water system, the job is not a chemistry lecture. It is whether PFAS monitoring and any federal or state limit apply to your system, and what the official record shows.
Orevant evaluates PFAS as part of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act set for every system in the EPA registry. That is on the coverage page. This is compliance information, not legal advice. Confirm the current limit and your monitoring window with your state primacy agency.
What Orevant will and will not say
The Complete System Report includes lead-service-line and PFAS status from available official records. Every finding cites the regulation and a retrieval date.
See exactly what your system is up against
Search by system name or PWSID and get your EPA violation history, open requirements, and upcoming deadlines in under a minute. Free, no account, no obligation.
If the official record cannot confirm a result, the finding is labeled Unable to Verify. That is not dressed up as a violation. Federal SDWIS can trail state files by a quarter or more; the report says so.
Orevant does not sample your water. It does not submit results to the state. You decide what to share and with whom.
The California 2026 guide on this site states EPA limits of 4 ppt for PFOA and PFOS, and that community systems must complete initial monitoring. Treat that as the number the site currently states, then confirm with your primacy agency before you brief a board. Do not invent a tighter number.
PFAS is not the same as an inventory deadline
LCRI is the lead-and-copper rule, including the November 1, 2027 deadline the site states. A PFAS monitoring duty is a different finding. A CCR is the annual report to customers. Do not collapse them.
Funding is not a guarantee
If PFAS work is in front of you, federal and state programs may match a system like yours. Orevant’s funding matches always say likely eligible — confirm with the agency. Orevant does not submit applications. Illustrative grant scenarios on the site are not customer stories.
FAQ
Does every small system have to monitor for PFAS?
It depends on your classification, size, and the current rule. Look up your official EPA profile by name or PWSID (your Public Water System Identification number). The report should cite why a duty applies — or say Unable to Verify.
Does Orevant report PFAS results to the state?
No. Orevant does not submit records, tasks, findings, or applications to regulators.
What if the federal record has no PFAS result?
The finding should say Unable to Verify unless there is a cited violation. Ask your state. Federal databases can trail state files.
Know where your system stands. Before your state does.
The Complete System Report is $199 once. One document: what applies, what’s due, what to do, and what funding you qualify for. No subscription.
