The state Assembly approved a 13 bill, 10-million-dollar plan to address water quality in Wisconsin. Dodgeville Republican Todd Novak headed up the task force that developed the package. It’s an issue that includes so-called “forever chemical” PFAS contamination of wells and surface water, groundwater pollution from livestock manure, and wells contaminated with human and animal waste. All the bills still need Senate approval before going to Governor Tony Evers’ desk. The governor declared 2019 as the “Year of Clean Drinking Water” which he says was the catalyst for these efforts.
