South West Water monitoring of PFOS PFOA and data held.
Dear South West Water Limited,
Purpose: understand the state of monitoring by South West Water Limited for PFOS, PFOA chemicals, and data held.
1. What monitoring programme do you currently have in place for PFOS, PFOA chemicals at drinking water abstraction points?
2. Can you give a document that sets out the locations of abstraction points where levels of PFOS and PFOAs are being monitored.
3. Provide insight on the monitoring done, any constraints or limitations, and any data of levels of PFOs and PFOAs held during monitoring at those sites for PFOA, PFOS since commencement.
4. Set out what ‘downstream’ monitoring is undertaken at consumer end points / taps for these chemicals, and if not done, set out the rationale and any risks the firm believes are associated with this position.
5. Any discussions with your regulator on this topic in the past 3 years .
6. What mitigations South West Water has considered should any chemicals be found, and, the estimated cost to implement.
Yours faithfully,
Clare Tierney
