California Gov. Gavin Newsom's $20 billion Delta tunnel project has cleared a significant hurdle, but it still has major obstacles to overcome. The plan aims to reroute water from the Sacramento River to a reservoir, addressing water supply issues in California. Delta communities oppose the project, fearing it will harm the environment and local farms. Last week, the Delta Stewardship Council voted to require the Department of Water Resources to address two challenges. Newsom hailed the decision as progress, but other obstacles loom. Court rulings have upended financing plans, state regulators have yet to weigh in on critical water rights decisions, and water agencies are still deciding whether the tunnel will be worth the cost.

The roughly 40 million Americans who get drinking water from wells are at particular risk when harmful forever chemicals contaminate the supply. Odorless and colorless, the chemicals known collectively as PFAS are linked to increased risk of certain cancers. While water from a utility will be forced to meet federal PFAS limits, those limits won't apply to private wells. And well owners are often the last to learn about contamination. At least 20 states don't test private wells beyond areas where PFAS problems are suspected. When a well is tainted, it can take homeowners years to find a new source of clean water.
