PFAS Task Force

The PFAS Task Force was established to support collaboration and information sharing on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), an emerging class of contaminants receiving increasing attention from regulators, utilities, industries, and water quality professionals across Colorado and the nation. As federal and state agencies continue to develop PFAS regulations, monitoring requirements, and management strategies, the task force provides a forum for stakeholders to stay informed, exchange knowledge, and proactively address potential impacts on Colorado’s water resources.

The task force brings together municipalities, wastewater and water utilities, industries, consultants, regulators, and other interested stakeholders to discuss regulatory developments, monitoring and treatment technologies, permitting considerations, and emerging scientific research. Through collaboration and technical dialogue, the task force helps members better understand PFAS-related challenges and prepare for future regulatory and compliance requirements.

Our Purpose

PFAS regulations, monitoring requirements, and treatment expectations continue to evolve at both the state and federal levels. The PFAS Task Force provides an opportunity for stakeholders to collaborate on understanding these developments, share technical expertise, and develop informed, science-based approaches to addressing PFAS concerns.

The task force serves as a collaborative forum where members can evaluate scientific data, discuss implementation challenges, identify areas where additional information is needed, and coordinate efforts to better understand PFAS conditions across Colorado. The task force also supports communication among utilities, regulators, technical experts, and industry representatives to help ensure that future policies and regulations are informed by sound science, practical implementation considerations, and real-world operational experience.

By pooling resources and expertise, this task force helps members stay ahead of emerging issues and prepare for the evolving PFAS landscape while supporting the long-term protection of Colorado’s water resources.
