The City is particularly concerned about the potential impact on public trust. Residents <br /> expect drinking water regulations to be based on the best available science and to <br /> provide consistent protection against contaminants that may increase the risk of cancer <br /> and other adverse health outcomes. Efforts to weaken or rescind existing standards <br /> may create confusion among the public and erode confidence in drinking water systems <br /> that are already investing significant resources to address these contaminants. <br /> Santa Ana remains committed to removing PFAS from its water supplies and, <br /> regardless of changes at the federal level, our city will continue advancing treatment <br /> projects necessary to protect public health. However, local efforts are strengthened <br /> when supported by clear and enforceable federal standards that establish a consistent <br /> baseline of protection for all communities. <br /> For these reasons, the City of Santa Ana respectfully urges the EPA to withdraw the <br /> proposed rescission and maintain enforceable drinking water protections for PFHxS, <br /> PFNA, HFPO-DA (GenX), and Hazard Index mixtures while continuing to evaluate <br /> emerging scientific information and regulatory approaches. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this important matter impacting <br /> our nation's drinking water resources. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Rodolfo Rosas, P.E. <br /> Acting Executive Director of Public Works <br /> City of Santa Ana <br /> cc: Mayor and City Council <br /> City Manager <br /> l <br /> SANTA ANA CITY COUNCIL <br /> Valerie Amezcua David Penaloza Thai Viet Phan Benjamin Vazquez Jessie Lopez Phil Bacerra Johnathan Ryan Hernandez <br /> Mayor May Pro Tem-Ward 6 Ward 1 Ward 2 Ward 3 Ward 4 Ward 5 <br /> yamezcua(O7santa-ana.orq d,.n.1r.
