We would like to share an article that was featured in the Boston Globe on Sunday, May 23.  The article is titled, More communities are finding toxic chemicals in their drinking water,  By David Abel, Globe Staff.   

The article states that since Massachusetts enacted new safety regulations last fall, which require public water systems to test for six of the more common chemicals, more communities have found elevated levels of toxic chemicals known as PFAS in their drinking water. If their concentrations exceed more than 20 parts per trillion — the equivalent of about 20 grains of sand in an Olympic-size swimming pool — water providers must alert their users and reduce the concentrations as soon as possible.

As of mid-May, of 242 public water sources in Massachusetts that had reported test results, 50 had concentrations of PFAS that exceeded state rules. More than 1,000 smaller public water sources will be required to start testing later this year or next year.

The Town of Medway is pleased to report that Medway's PFAS Score is 10 parts per trillion. That number is way below the State's requirements. Please review the Town of Medway's PFAS State Forms here:
