DRINKING WATER

The Army is committed to ensuring quality drinking water is provided to its Soldiers, family members, and DoD civilian workforce. The Army and other purveyors (e.g. Privatized water system partners) perform proactive sampling on its drinking water systems for PFOS and/or PFOA IAW Army Policy.

On April 26, 2024, the EPA published a final federal National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) establishing drinking water standards for certain PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This rule applies to public drinking water systems and includes enforceable Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) to include 4 ppt for PFOS and 4 ppt for PFOA. The rule provides five years for regulated public water systems to comply. The Army continues to collect necessary sampling information and is taking actions to ensure compliance with the required 5-year timeframe. For the latest Drinking Water sampling results, please see the OSD PFAS On-base drinking water database  https://www.acq.osd.mil/eie/eer/ecc/pfas/data/onbase-drinking-water.html

Status:  Finished drinking water, which is the treated water people drink at Camp Stanley, is purchased by the Army. Water testing for PFOS/PFOA can be performed by either the drinking water provider or the Army.

History:  As a proactive measure in 2016-2017, the Army tested the drinking water wells at Camp Stanley for PFAS. Results showed an exceedance. The drinking water supply system was shutdown and the camp switched over to municipal water.

Type of drinking water systems: Purchased
