PFAS in Our Wastewater: Sources, Risks & Solutions
PFAS—toxic “forever chemicals” linked to serious health problems—have been detected in Multi Lake Water and Sewer Authority wastewater, the Huron River, nearby lakes, and some drinking water supplies in the watershed. Elevated levels prompted fish consumption advisories on the Huron River beginning in 2018.
Join the Multi Lake Water and Sewer Authority (MLWSA) and the Huron River Watershed Council (HRWC) for a community information session. You’ll learn:
- What MLWSA monitoring data shows
- What PFAS contamination means for your health
- Ways to reduce your PFAS exposure
MLWSA serves residents of Dexter, Lyndon, Putnam, and Unadilla townships and has been actively testing its wastewater treatment system. HRWC has advocated for policies to reduce PFAS exposure and protect public health and wildlife across the watershed.
