Tennessee American Water Delivers Additional PFAS Settlement Credit to Customers

Latest credit of over $13 brings total settlement funds to more than $84 per customer 

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tennessee American Water announced that additional credits were recently applied to water customer accounts as a result of the company's receipt of proceeds from settlements reached with manufacturers of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

The latest $13.07 credit, applied on November 10, brings total PFAS-related settlement refunds to over $84 per customer.

The credit was made possible through Tennessee Public Utility Commission approval of a plan that enables Tennessee American Water to provide PFAS settlement funds directly to customers through bill credits as the funds are received.

The company is committed to complying with all drinking water standards and is taking appropriate actions to meet new PFAS regulations as they are implemented. Tennessee American Water plans to invest over $50 million in capital improvements across their service territories to continue providing safe, clean, reliable and affordable water service.
