Residents Encouraged Opt-In For Free Test
MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced it will continue to sample drinking water wells in an Expanded Site Investigation Area in the Town of Peshtigo due to the potential presence of groundwater contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The DNR will use state funds for the sampling effort, which is scheduled to begin this spring.
Beginning today, the DNR will mail information to more than 200 property owners in the Town of Peshtigo who have not yet opted to have their well sampled by the DNR. The packets include a potable well survey questionnaire, a property access permission agreement, an expanded site investigation area map with last year’s test results and information about the sampling effort.
