What this means for your tap water
No PFAS compounds have been detected in Environment Agency monitoring of water sources near Cheltenham. This is a positive result that suggests local rivers and groundwater used for drinking water supply are not contaminated with forever chemicals at detectable levels.
However, it is important to note that monitoring coverage varies across the UK. Not all water sources are tested for PFAS, and the absence of detection does not guarantee the absence of PFAS at very low concentrations. The Environment Agency continues to expand its monitoring programme.
