City of Prescott Receives First Installment of $3 Million Dollar PFAS Settlement

The City of Prescott has received the first payment in a series of settlement agreements related to PFAS chemical contamination in City wells.  This payment represents a partial payment in one of the settlements, specifically with 3M, as settlement payments will be made in ten separate installments through 2033.  It is expected that both this payment and the second payment will be made this year.

The first settlement check that the City received was for $548,873.89. Due to the formula being used by the claims administrator, the next payment is expected to be larger than the first. Additional settlements have been reached with DuPont, TYCO, and BASF, with payments expected from these parties in the near future.

Prescott had one well that was determined to be out of compliance with EPA standards for PFAS, which was set in 2024.  That well was taken offline, bringing the Prescott water system into full compliance.
