Livermore Commission Approves PFAS Water Treatment Upgrades at Three Stations
The Livermore Planning Commission approved conditional use permit modifications on Oct. 20 for California Water Service to install granular activated carbon treatment systems at three stations in the city. The upgrades at Station 9 (3474 East Ave.), Station 19 (1748 Elm St.), and Station 31 (732 Olivina Ave.) will remove PFAS contaminants from drinking water and expand storage capacity. Neighbors of Station 19 raised concerns about the removal of two elm trees and potential noise; the commission directed staff to evaluate sound compliance and explore faster-growing replacement trees.
