"The Hallowell Water District plans to build a new water treatment facility after testing showed levels of PFAS chemicals below the state's standards but well above new federal regulations. 

The facility, which will eliminate forever chemicals from public water, will not come online until 2027. Meanwhile, customers are getting clean water from a new source.

Around 20 customers come to the Hallowell Water District daily to fill up with PFAS-free water from this spigot on Winthrop Street."
