Tony Evers has announced two new grant programs to combat PFAS (PFAS) statewide and ensure Wisconsinites can access clean, safe drinking water. The $125 million PFAS Trust Fund, previously unspent in the 2023-25 Biennial Budget, was released earlier this year thanks to 2025 Wisconsin Acts 200 and 201 signed by Gov. Evers. The PFAS Community Grants Sampling Program provides eligible municipalities with funding to sample for PFAS in private wells, public water supplies at eligible schools and child care facilities, and wastewater and other eligible materials at treatment plants. The Wisconsin PFAS Private Well Testing Program (WisPPWT) will allow private well owners and users to sample their private well for PFAs if they do not reside within a municipality pursuing a community grant. Municipalities that find PFAS contamination in public water systems may also apply for funding through existing DNR funding programs to install treatment systems or construct new wells. Additional grant programs, also funded by the PFAS trust fund, will be announced in the coming months.
