At Refresh Pure Water, we know that for businesses and offices in Los Angeles, every detail matters. From client impressions to employee well-being, the quality of your workspace directly reflects on your brand. And that certainly includes the water you provide.
We're vigilant about changes impacting the water in LA's commercial spaces. The introduction of national drinking water standards for "forever chemicals" like PFOA last year was a crucial step – recognizing PFOA as a persistent, cancer-causing chemical and a critical concern for any responsible employer. The importance of what your employees and clients consume cannot be overstated.

However, recent news has introduced a troubling uncertainty. As reported by Associated Press (AP News) in May 2025, the EPA has announced significant changes to its PFAS regulations, effectively rolling back some anticipated protections. While the limits for PFOA and PFOS remain, the agency has proposed extending the compliance deadlines for water systems by a full two years, pushing them back to 2031. Even more concerning, as detailed by CBS News, the EPA intends to completely rescind regulations for several other PFAS chemicals.

What Do These Changes Mean for Your Los Angeles Business?
Here in Los Angeles, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of business excellence. But water quality remains an ongoing concern. The broader statewide picture reveals that hundreds of public wells across California have previously shown exceedances of proposed or existing PFAS guidelines, highlighting a critical issue that touches all parts of our state.
The EPA's decision to delay compliance deadlines and abandon regulations for other PFAS chemicals creates a serious question mark over the long-term consistency of tap water quality. For your employees and clients, this means a potential for prolonged exposure to these substances, which can translate to concerns about health and, ultimately, productivity and peace of mind within your office environment.
