In order to stay ahead of trends and monitor the performance of our treatment technology, CFPUA conducts required and voluntary tests on a wide array of contaminants. These tests help us monitor for compounds that are currently regulated, or may be regulated in the future, and help us to understand when future investment in more advanced treatment technology may be necessary.
