Lawmakers vote to release $10M from PFAS contamination settlement
Current status: Status unconfirmed (as of 23/10/2026, 15:18). Older update notes in the history text may be outdated.
Wisconsin lawmakers voted on September 1, 2026, to release $10 million from a settlement with Tyco Fire Products. These funds are designated to address widespread PFAS contamination in drinking water in northeastern Wisconsin, particularly in the Marinette and Peshtigo communities, providing for testing and safe water sources. The contamination originated from Tyco's fire training center, which allegedly failed to report toxic PFAS discharges for years. Update (ironmountaindailynews.com, 09.09.2026, 09:35): Funds are released from the Wisconsin PFAS trust fund and stem from a 2022 lawsuit against Tyco Fire Products. Aid will specifically fund deep wells and in-home treatment systems.
