Civil engineer Andrew Nishihara talks to WaterWorld about costs behind PFAS treatment and the water sector’s contention on national treatment costs

In this interview Andrew Nishihara, civil engineer at Stantec, explains the costs behind PFAS treatment, reasons behind the water sector’s different estimates on national treatment costs, and how drinking water utilities have been able to adapt economically to the addition of PFAS treatment.
