Malvern Water System to Get $1.57 Million Upgrade to Remove "Forever Chemicals"
MALVERN, PA — A $1.57 million low-interest loan from Pennvest will fund significant upgrades to the Hollow Run Well system, a public water source serving approximately 975 households in Chester County's 167th Legislative District. The centerpiece of the project is a new anion exchange treatment system designed to remove PFAS and PFOS — persistent "forever chemicals" linked to health issues such as elevated cholesterol, thyroid problems, developmental delays, and immune system effects. Additional work includes replacing the well pump, installing pre-filtration equipment, upgrading electrical systems, and adding modern instrumentation and controls. State Rep. Kristine Howard announced the funding, emphasizing that the improvements are expected to enhance water quality without increasing costs for customers.
