PFAS contamination risk in regional groundwater
Summary
The state now requires PFAS monitoring at all of Long Beach's wells. Neighboring Lakewood detected PFAS in four of its eleven wells and must abandon them; Long Beach's centralized treatment approach gives it a buffer, but migration in the aquifer is a concern.
