Dayton's $350 million PFAS removal facility at the Ottawa Water Treatment Plant is scheduled to start construction in 2026 and be completed by 2029, with a full retrofit set for 2031. The facility, utilizing Ion Exchange technology, aims to address PFAS levels that exceed federal standards.
The city has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense for costs incurred due to contamination from firefighting foam at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The U.S. Air Force has invested over $63 million since 2014 to address PFAS issues, including monitoring and treatment systems. The ongoing litigation and regulatory changes may affect the project's progress and funding strategies.
