PFAS exposure in Bucks County
Bucks County is one of the most closely studied PFAS areas in the country. The former Naval Air Warfare Center Warminster used AFFF firefighting foam for decades, and the resulting groundwater contamination reached public and private wells in Warminster, Warrington, and neighbouring communities.
County seat: Doylestown
Bucks County is one of the most heavily PFAS-impacted regions in the United States. Decades of AFFF firefighting foam use at the former Naval Air Warfare Center Warminster contaminated drinking water in Warminster, Warrington, Hatboro, Chalfont, Doylestown, and surrounding communities. Multiple public wells have been shut down or treated since the contamination was identified.
Even where contamination has not been front-page news, ongoing federal monitoring under the EPA’s UCMR 5 program is identifying additional Pennsylvania water systems with detectable PFAS. If you have lived or worked in Bucks County and have been diagnosed with a qualifying condition, your case deserves a confidential review.
Because the contamination in central and lower Bucks County has been documented for years, residents here often have an unusually strong paper trail: water-authority notices, well shutdown announcements, and sampling results tied to specific addresses and time periods.
Bucks County borders Montgomery County, where the former Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove and the Horsham Air Guard Station are associated with the same regional plume. Long-time residents who moved between the two counties should list every address.

Bucks County PFAS questions
- Which Bucks County communities were affected by the Warminster base contamination?
- Warminster and Warrington are the most widely reported, with detections also reported in surrounding communities such as Chalfont and Doylestown. Whether your address was served by an affected well depends on your water provider and the years you lived there.
- My Bucks County water is treated now. Can I still have a claim?
- Possibly. PFAS claims usually focus on past exposure. If you drank the water before treatment was installed and were later diagnosed with a PFAS-linked condition, the earlier years are what the review examines.
- What records help most for a Bucks County claim?
- Addresses and years of residence, your water provider's name, any notice you received about well shutdowns or PFAS levels, and your medical records for the diagnosis.
