# Wisconsin Launches PFAS Remediation Funding

The State of Wisconsin, led by Governor Tony Evers and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), has initiated PFAS Awareness Week to spotlight its comprehensive efforts to combat PFAS contamination and ensure safe drinking water statewide. The administration is deploying **$125 million** from the PFAS Trust Fund alongside an additional **$10 million** from a settlement with Tyco Fire Products LP to fund extensive testing, remediation, and treatment programs. These initiatives include grant programs targeting PFAS sampling in private wells, schools, childcare facilities, and biosolids, with contract awards expected to begin in October 2026.

- **Why this matters:** Environmental contractors specializing in water testing, treatment, and remediation have significant upcoming opportunities in Wisconsin's PFAS mitigation efforts.
- The combined funding signals a strong state commitment to addressing PFAS contamination, likely increasing demand for specialized environmental services.
- Procurement professionals should prepare for grant solicitations and contract awards related to PFAS sampling and remediation starting in late 2026.
- Companies with expertise in PFAS-related environmental solutions can leverage this funding to expand their presence in the Wisconsin market.
