Below is a copy of the testing results for the Camanche water supply as it pertains to PFAS/PFOS in the system. We are pleased to annouce that all of the testing came back with no detectable levels of these chemicals. This is due to the operation drawing from our existing deep well (#5) which was recently outfitted with a new and stronger pump. 

Work continues on well #7 which will draw from the same aquifer as well #5. Once functional, the two shallow wells which contain the forever chemicals will be capped and off of the Camanche water system permanently.
