Willingboro officials break ground on system to remove toxic ‘forever chemical’ from drinking water
Residents in Willingboro, Burlington County, were informed in December 2021 about elevated levels of PFOS, a toxic "forever chemical," in their drinking water supply. The offending municipal well was shut down, and residents were connected to other city wells. Now, the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority has begun construction on a $5 million treatment system to permanently remove PFOS, with completion expected by September 2023.
