In December 2022 the Town was notified by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) of its newest Health Advisory for PFAS in drinking water and that two of the Town's wells were slightly above that limit. The Town isolated the issue by turning off those wells. In January of 2023 the Town worked with a Consultant and the MDE to prepare a resolution to the problem to include continued monitoring of these wells, secure funding, and designing/constructing a treatment system to remove PFAS from the raw water. In March of 2023 the EPA set their proposed limit and the link is provided above. Once this limit is finalized by the end of 2023, the Town and other water systems with elevated PFAS will have three years to be in compliance with the MCLs. The Town will continue periodic testing. All sampling results and any other updates will be posted here.
