PFAS Remediation

This week the Town installed a PFAS remediation system at Well 3 (Wootton Ave). This system, which is part of a Maryland Department of Environment-approved pilot program, uses carbon filters to remove the PFAS water. The Town will test the water to see if the filters are removing the PFAS before the well is put back into the water distribution system. For more information on the PFAS issue, please see the link below.
