瓦乌绍从3M公司收到280万美元,用于处理受PFAS污染的水井和稳定水位。 Wausau receives $2.8M from 3M to address PFAS-contaminated wells and stabilize water rates.

瓦乌索市从3M公司收到280万美元,作为PFASS定居点的一部分,因为所有6个城市饮用水井在2023年均经检测为阳性的污染。 The City of Wausau has received $2.8 million from 3M as part of a PFAS settlement after all six municipal drinking water wells tested positive for contamination in 2023. 这些资金将有助于抵消水电费资本支出、减少债务和稳定水率。 The funds will help offset water utility capital expenses, reduce debt, and stabilize water rates. 自发现以来,瓦乌索安装了一个颗粒活性碳过滤系统,将PFAS去除到不可检测的水平。 Since the discovery, Wausau has installed a granular activated carbon filtration system that removes PFAS to undetectable levels. 预计3M公司、DuPont公司和特殊需要基金将支付额外款项,由城市官员决定如何通过水务委员会和市政委员会分配资金。 Additional payments from 3M, DuPont, and a special needs fund are expected, with city officials deciding how to allocate the money through the Water Works Commission and City Council.
