PFAS exposure in Potter County
Potter County, centred on Coudersport, is one of Pennsylvania's most rural counties and contains a rare triple divide where water drains toward the Allegheny, Genesee, and Susquehanna river systems. Most residents outside the boroughs rely on private wells and springs.

Like much of Pennsylvania, Potter County residents may have been exposed to PFAS through public water systems, private wells, AFFF firefighting foam at airports or fire-training sites, or proximity to industrial facilities. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the EPA continue to monitor PFAS levels statewide.
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 Potter County and have been diagnosed with a qualifying condition, your case deserves a confidential review.
Because headwater counties have few large utilities, published PFAS data for individual homes is often unavailable. A private-well PFAS test is the only way to know what your household water contains.
Potter County residents with occupational exposure — firefighters, airport or military personnel, or industrial workers elsewhere — can still qualify for a review based on where that exposure happened.

Potter County PFAS questions
