Why Burlington

What's actually in Burlington's water

Burlington's drinking water from Lake Mackintosh is generally clean (1.9 GPG hardness, manageable PFAS). Burlington's INFAMY in NC water is on the wastewater side — its treatment plant discharges contaminated industrial effluent into the Haw River, making it the primary PFAS source for downstream Pittsboro and a major source for the entire Cape Fear basin. Burlington is currently under legal action and remediation pressure to clean up the wastewater discharge.
