Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are a broad range of compounds used in numerous applications including stain repellents for textiles, additive to paper products, and in aqueous film forming foams used to fight electrical fires.

 

In 2016, PFCs emerged at a threat to our water sources including the Widefield Aquifer located south of Colorado Springs. These chemicals have affected tens of thousands of residents including over 6500 customers of the Stratmoor Hills Water and Sanitation Districts.
