According to an announcement made by officials last week, the Air Force will spend an excess of $2 million in order to permanently eradicate PFAS-contaminated water from local waterways which has been flowing from a former Montgomery County base.
According to an article published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, “The agreement to fund the fix comes after more than two years of requests from local residents and officials to address the highly contaminated water that has flowed off the former Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove and into local creeks.”
PFAS contaminated water has proven to be linked to various health conditions and affects millions of individuals across the country, including thousands in Bucks County and Montgomery County.
