Trustee says PFAS countertop filter grant outreach underway
Summary
Trustee Ben Hausam reported a company reached out about PFAS countertop filtration units and said the village believes it should qualify for grant funding prioritized by the EPA; the effort is still in process.
Trustee Ben Hausam told the board that an outside company contacted the village about countertop filtration units to address PFAS contamination and said the work is being prioritized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
