"ANN ARBOR, MI - Ann Arbor officials are taking additional steps to ensure city residents are drinking safe water, spending another $850,000 to try to better filter out harmful PFAS chemicals.

PFAS, a family of per- and poly-fluorinated "forever chemicals" linked to cancer and other health conditions, is found in the Huron River water that Ann Arbor draws for drinking water.

To reduce the amount of PFAS ending up in the drinking water delivered to customers, the city's water treatment plant is purchasing new granular activated carbon to improve filtration."
