PFAS Remediation Project

The PFAS remediation project for the Town's Water System is in the Design Phase. Some of the Town's wells contain raw water that has high levels of PFAS, so the Water Stations associated with those wells will be modified. This project will include integrating new filter media - specifically designed to remove PFAS - into the water treatment process at the appropriate Water Stations. Planned construction in 2025-2026. 

For more information about PFAS, please visit the Water Quality/PFAS page of the Town's website:
