Sonoma: PFAS in city water, idled well tops federal limit
The City of Sonoma has detected PFAS — the long-lived industrial compounds known as "forever chemicals" — in its drinking water system, including one municipal well that tested above the federal limit that took effect in 2024. The amounts reaching Sonoma taps are tiny, and the city says its water still meets state and federal drinking water standards.
