Veolia Unveils Major PFAS Water Treatment Plant to Boost Drinking Water Safety

As water becomes increasingly critical for both public health and environmental sustainability, Veolia has developed one of the most extensive PFAS treatment systems in the U.S.—and the largest in the Northeast. The Stanton Water Treatment Plant is designed to eliminate regulated PFAS compounds from drinking water, delivering clean, safe water to over 100,000 people while fully aligning with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) PFAS standards. This initiative serves as a scalable model for implementing affordable PFAS treatment solutions in water systems around the world.

The $35 million plant adds to the 33 PFAS treatment facilities Veolia already operates across the U.S. Over the next few years, the company plans to expand its efforts, deploying treatment systems at more than 100 water production sites nationwide. This will provide high-quality water to nearly 2 million residents and support regulatory compliance in a cost-effective manner.

Veolia’s success in addressing PFAS challenges within the U.S. has laid the groundwork for global application. The company’s effective implementation of PFAS treatment in Delaware showcases its BeyondPFAS program, which offers comprehensive solutions—from detection and treatment to safe disposal.
