An Act for the establishment of a voucher program for home water filtration equipment

This bill establishes a voucher program administered by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to help residents in specific areas purchase home water filtration equipment. The program targets single-family homes and units in multi-unit buildings located in municipalities where PFAS chemical levels exceed state safety limits. Eligible residents can request vouchers for NSF-certified point-of-use filtration devices or replacement filters, with limits of two devices per five years and two filters per six months per address. Funding for these vouchers will be drawn from existing state and federal water quality grants, and participating retailers will be reimbursed by the department after processing sales.
