A little over two years later, Grand Haven Area Public Schools are excited to announce that their new water filtration is working very well, and the water is now safe to use and drink again.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality confirmed Thursday that extremely high levels of PFAS have been confirmed in a landfill that was formerly used by the paper mill that operated in Parchment for decades.
Residents in the City of Parchment will finally be able to use their tap water again for drinking and cleaning food as the 'Drinking Water Advisory' has been lifted.
Michigan officials say they're halfway finished with collecting samples for a statewide study of toxic chemicals that have been detected in drinking water in 33 state
While the paper mill has not officially been linked to the water contamination of PFAS that has affected over 3,100 residents in the area, most believe it is only a matter of time before it is confirmed.
