New Hampshire POET Rebate Program

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has announced that they have established a rebate program to reimburse eligible owners who installed a point-of-entry treatment (POET) system at their property to treat drinking water for PFAS prior to being offered a system as part of Saint-Gobain’s POET installation program.

Saint-Gobain has retained WSP USA Inc. (WSP) to collect information from property owners to evaluate rebate program eligibility.

Saint-Gobain will provide a one-time rebate of up to $5,000 to property owners whose POET system meets the following eligibility requirements. Approved applicants will also be eligible for Saint-Gobain’s POET maintenance program.

Applicant eligibility requirements include:

• Documentation of POET installation date from September 30, 2019 through May 10, 2023;
• Dated receipt for POET system installation;
• Documentation showing proof of exceedance of NH PFAS drinking water standards prior to installation;
• Documentation showing proof of effectiveness of POET system to treat drinking water to NH drinking water standards for PFAS (i.e., a sample collected post-installation);
• Property must be located within the “consent decree” area defined by the 2018 agreement between the company and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NH DES);
• Property must be eligible for a POET system as part of Saint-Gobain’s POET installation program, as defined in a 2022 consent decree with NH DES; and
• Consent to an inspection by Saint-Gobain’s POET installation contractor to verify that the installed POET meets program requirements and can be included in its POET maintenance program.
