PFAs Levels Take Weston Well Offline

(Mike Leischner, WSAU) Limit your lawn watering in Weston as PFAS takes another well offline.

According to Mike Leischner of WSAU, village leaders say well number four is back offline again after another round of testing came back with elevated levels. This means the village is back to having two wells out of service, and while they are planning to install filtration that will allow at least one to come back online later this fall, they do want customers to limit their lawn watering scheduled for now.

They say they have enough water pumping from the three wells that remain in service to meet customer demand under normal conditions, but if too much water is going onto people's lawns, that could force them to bring the offline wells back in service, which would elevate PFAS levels to above the DHS Health Advisory level of 20 parts per trillion.
