The Huron River Watershed Council is holding a public meeting to discuss PFAS being detected in Dexter-area wastewater.
Daniel Brown is the Climate Resilience Strategist for the Huron River Watershed Council. He says wastewater treatment plants have been processing higher concentrations of PFAS around Dexter and Lyndon Townships. He says the water-resistant chemical is likely entering the sewer system from water runoff that has come into contact with consumer and industrial products containing PFAS.
“PFAS is in everything from personal care products to waterproofing on clothing, it’s in building materials in your home, it can be shed from non-stick cookware, so it can come from any number of things.”
The public meeting will be held at Dexter Township Hall on June 11th starting at 6 PM.
