Governor Tony Evers is sharing plans to expand access to clean drinking water around Wisconsin.
His plans are part of his upcoming 2025-27 Executive Budget, which will be introduced on February 18th. Earlier this week, he announced that over 145 million-dollars will be invested in addressing PFAS contamination across the state. The plan involves creating a PFAS Community Grant program to help municipal drinking water systems with testing for PFAS and eliminate them from drinking water. Two-million-dollars in emergency resources will be used to provide safe, bottled water to people in Wisconsin and allocate seven-million dollars in new funding to help farmers remediate PFAS contamination.
