Based on initial compliance cost estimates prepared by the DNR last September, industry, local governments and ultimately the taxpayer stand to incur millions of dollars in costs related to PFAS.

MWFPA is a member of the Wisconsin Water Quality Coalition, a group of non-profit organizations, industry partners, and trade associations, advocating for PFAS regulation that is based on sound science and that properly balances possible health impacts with protecting the future of Wisconsin’s economy.
