Eau Claire is not waiting to deal with the so-called forever chemicals in its water.
The city yesterday broke ground on a new plant that is designed to remove PFAS chemicals from the city’s water supply. The 20 million-dollar facility comes a year-and-a-half after the city closed about half of its wells because of high PFAS levels as there are growing worries about the chemicals. Constriction is expected to take about a year-and-a-half.
