Firefighting Foam Ban Bill Heading to the Senate

The bill banning the kind of firefighting foam that has contaminated water supplies in southern El Paso County has cleared the House and is on its way to the Senate. 

The bill would ban Class B Firefighting foams that contain intentionally added chemicals known as PFAs.

Such chemicals were used for decades at Peterson Air Force Base and have been found in the contaminated Widefield aquifer, which serves Security, Widefield and Fountain.
