For some background about this issue, please visit the Madison Water Utility's FAQ page here: http://www.cityofmadison.com/water/water-quality/water-quality-testing/perfluorinated-compounds/pfas-frequently-asked-questions

This is your opportunity to ask any questions you have about the safety of our drinking water and the effects of PFAS on our environment. Spanish and Hmong interpreters will be at the meeting.

Speakers: Joe Grande, Water Quality Manager, Madison Water Utility; Doug Voegeli, Director of Environmental Health, PHMDC; Jeff Lafferty, Environmental Epidemiologist, PHMDC; Rob Thiboldeaux, Toxicologist, WI DHS.

MWU will temporarily rely on other well facilities to serve the Well 15 area as it waits for a recommended PFAS standard from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The recommendation is expected this spring.
