Amid concerns from residents about levels of forever chemicals in Hallowell drinking water, the Hallowell Water District is working toward long-term solutions. By the end of 2027, the district hopes to have constructed a $10 million facility to eliminate detectable forever chemicals, or PFAS, in the city’s drinking water. PFAS exposure at even small levels has been linked to health issues.
