Holland BPW to test for PFAS in water supply
Holland Board of Public Works will conduct its own PFAS testing ahead of state DEQ sampling. Spokesperson Ashley Kimble says results are aimed for within weeks as public health concerns prompt proactive analysis of Perfluorinated compounds in Ottawa County water systems. The 2013 BPW test found no PFOS but detection limits then were higher than today’s EPA guidance of 70 ppt.
