Clean drinking water is a top priority for Southwest Michigan families and communities, but dangerous PFAS contamination – like we saw in Parchment a number of years ago – is a real threat to our freshwater systems.

PFAS chemicals are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic. Now, the EPA has lowered the acceptable presence of PFAS to virtually zero – a step in the right direction to removing these chemicals from our drinking water.
