One of Prairie du Chien’s Wells Shut Down Due To PFAs

One of the Prairie du Chien’s four wells had to be shut down because it had high levels of PFAS in the water system. PFAS, which are plastics and other chemicals that do not deteriorate in the environment, were at 15 parts per trillion, more than triple the Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum limit of four. City Administrator Chad Abram said the city still uses wells one, three, and four, each tested under four parts per trillion.
