Committee hears utility update as PFAS levels creep near recommended threshold; SCADA online, hydrant flushing ongoing

Michael, a village staff member responsible for capital and utility projects, told the Public Works & Utility Committee on July 13 that two wells — Bridal and Alta Verde — are “creeping up into that kinda 4 to 5 parts per trillion mark,” and urged planning for a treatment plant to address emerging PFAS limits. He cited the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended level of about 4 parts per trillion as the context for the discussion and said staff will investigate funding options such as safe-drinking-water loans.
