Michigan health authorities retesting Oscoda wells for PFAS
Michigan health authorities, specifically the DHHS, plan to begin retesting approximately 500 private wells in the Oscoda area for toxic PFAS chemicals this month. The wells are located around the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base, including areas like Van Etten Lake and the Colbath Road neighborhood. This retesting aims to assess how contamination levels in local drinking water supplies have changed over time, with the state covering the costs.
