Rocky Hill Water
We have trace levels of PFAS we can innovatively and economically eliminate.
Solutions must work for our unique facility. Read scientific analyses.Understand proposals.Work together.
We did it before in 1983.
We can do it again.

Learn facts about PFAS
PFAS are water soluble per (poly) fluoroalkyl molecules that can cause major health problems. These chemicals, known as "forever chemicals," are contaminating foods and water around the world. While many communities in the US have significant contamination in their water, we scientifically analyze the problem for Rocky Hill and conclude there are trace levels that can be totally eliminated economically.
Solutions must work and be fiscally justified
We can economically elimate PFAS. As the town considers multi-million dollar proposals, it is crucial to evaluate them for scientific rigor and fiscal responsibility. Our water facility has aeration and duty cycle operation. We must design a system that can totally eliminate current and emerging contaminants. Several other municipalities have implemented operational, economical, and flexible systems -- we can too.

Rocky Hill Water Facility (RHWF)
Our Water Facility was created, designed, and built by local citizens in 1983 to address a pollution crisis. The solution, our Rocky Hill Water Facility (RHWF), is fully operational and certified by the NJ Department of Environmental Protection since 1983. We can eliminate PFAS economically.
