MAINE PUBLIC • September 27, 2024
Drinking water at more than 30 properties in Brunswick has been tested in the wake of last month's spill of firefighting foam at the former naval airbase. State regulators say all the samples fall below Maine's interim drinking water standards for PFAS. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection said the drinking water will be tested once every three months for the next year. The next tests are scheduled for December. Most PFAS concentrations continue to decline in the watershed near the spill, but the DEP said they have not returned to pre-spill levels.
