Pond water near a hazardous firefighting foam spill in Brunswick has tested positive for PFAS contamination, with levels exceeding EPA safety standards. While authorities claim the public water supply is safe, concerns arise for residents with private wells. Sarah Woodbury of Defend Our Health urged testing of residential wells due to potential legacy contamination in the area. This marks the third spill at the former Naval Air Base site, prompting a town hall for residents to address cleanup inquiries. The community seeks assurances of water safety amidst ongoing environmental challenges.
