Town of Wayland PFAS Remediation Update

Wayland, Massachusetts - The Town of Wayland issued a brief statement on Monday, January 24, 2022 regarding the status of the PFAS mitigation equipment.  The Town reported that the installation of the equipment to remove PFAS6 from the water supply was in the final stages.  Board of Selectman Chairman Thomas Fay stated, “I am pleased to report that we are closing in on a date in which the system will be up and running and therefore addressing the PFAS6 in our water.  Similar to many other current construction projects, the PFAS project has been faced with challenges related to COVID, supply chains, and adequate labor.  Hopefully, we have moved past those issues and we’ll soon begin reporting lower PFAS6 numbers in our water testing.”

 

The Town concluded by stating that the construction of the PFAS6 equipment was nearly complete.  The Town was in the process of coordinating the addition of resin to the treatment system.  Once completed, the Town can begin to focus on system start-up.
