Poulsbo staff: state PFAS tests show no measurable levels; council to follow up on mapping
Summary
Council asked about PFAS testing and visibility on EPA maps; Public Works staff said the city has done state-required PFAS testing and reported no measurable amounts, and staff will investigate why federal mapping does not list local results and coordinate with KPUD.
A councilmember raised a question about impending EPA PFAS testing requirements and the apparent absence of Poulsbo results on an EPA interactive map. Diane Linnaeus said the city has completed state-required PFAS testing and "there's no indication that we have any any measurable amount in our water system."
Staff and consultants agreed to follow up: they will check the state-submitted results for public availability and coordinate with Kitsap Public Utility District records to clarify public mapping. Mayor and council members expressed interest in confirming the data publication and communication to residents.
