The table below shows the concentration of PFAS in the water at the Katherine Aquatic Centre. Sampling at the Aquatic Centre was undertaken fortnightly to build baseline data and ensure that the water quality remains within the national health based guidance values (HBGV). The table will be updated with the results of ongoing testing as it becomes available. From May 2018 pool sampling was undertaken quarterly.
